Low oxygen levels appear to be a factor in an unusually early-season fish kill in the Neuse River near New Bern, the New Bern Sun Journal reported.
Riverkeeper Travis Graves was alerted to the fish kill at Fisher Landing Wednesday and began investigating today. Graves said the kill appears serious because not only menhaden but also larger species, including horseshoe crabs, flounder and blue crabs, were found floating dead at the shoreline.
