Fish Kill Part 2
Special | 5m 28s
Farm run off and water levels explored as causes for fish kills in Big Eau Pleine.
This winter eighty percent of the fish in the Big Eau Pleine Reservoir in Marathon County died due to oxygen starvation. An aeration system installed in 1980 solved the problem until recent years. But agricultural runoff and five years of drought overwhelmed the aerators. In Part Two of a series, we explore the reasons why this winter was so deadly.
