Officials of the Quintana Beach County Park on June 10 said that the incident took place due to a phenomenon called, “fish kill”, which involves low levels of dissolved oxygen in water that causes suffocation of the fish.
Recent rainfall, cloudy skies and the warmer weather associated with summer likely contributed to a mass fish casualty near Freeport along the Texas Gulf Coast over the weekend.
