2 million fish found dead in Maryland?

Millions more dead fish have turned up in Maryland following fish and bird deaths in Arkansas.?
 
Reports of dead animals have been flooding the Internet since New Year’s Eve when 5,000 blackbirds fell from the sky in Beebe, Arkansas. The very next day about 100,000 dead drum fish washed up along a 20-mile stretch of the Arkansas River.?
 
Now, CNN reports that officials are looking into the deaths of an estimated 2 million juvenile spot fish in Chesapeake Bay. According to authorities, tests found that the area had acceptable water quality.??
 
"Natural causes appear to be the reason," the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) stated in a press release. "Cold water stress exacerbated by a large population of the affected species appears to be the cause of the kill."
 
MDE added, “An increased juvenile population and limited deep water habitat would likely compound the effects of cold water stress."
 
Authorities suspect that disease likely killed the drum fish in Arkansas, while experts think the blackbirds became disoriented and flew towards the ground.
