Thousands of fish washed ashore along the #Texas Gulf Coast due to “a low dissolved oxygen event” in warm water, #US officials have said. The “fish kill” on the Gulf Coast beach, about 65 miles south of Houston, was a result of low dissolved oxygen in the water, according to Texas Parks & Wildlife. Low oxygen levels are common in the summer when #temperatures rise, making it so the fish can't 'breathe' under water, the department said. | Kuwait Times
