Fish Die-Off in Los Angeles - USA

Thousands of anchovies turned up dead in Southern California's Marina del Rey over the weekend after suffocating in the harbour, state officials said.

A fish die-off like this hasn't been seen in recent memory at Marina del Ray, a coastal community just north of Los Angeles International Airport.

The anchovies most likely became trapped in the harbor and died of oxygen depletion, investigators with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife said.
