I heard about this, going to be interesting to see what causes it, or if it's a natural die off.

First was cherry Lake fish deaths ....now this...no good

[Don Fisher]

Terrible. Was gonna fish lagoon for gars soon. Wonder what caused it

[Don Fisher]

Maybe something dumped in hovels creek, and cherry lake
Something I just thought of, last time I was at g school I caught a yakka which I thought was odd, never caught one in corio bay.
In that pic they look like yakkas. So possibly went there to die? Dunno I’m just speculating

Yeah they look like yakkas.
Maybe something got dumped around there. Or leaked from somewhere. Who knows.

This is not good to see, Grammar Lagoon and Indented Heads are a long way from each other so it's hard to say what has caused this.
Hope in the coming days we don't see this affect the whole of the Bellarine and they quickly get to the bottom of it.

what ever it is at sure ain't natural.

Fisho999 How do you know its not natural?
I went down to the Anderson Caravan Park yesterday and witnessed that there were many dead fish that the sea birds were eating.
All the dead fish were yackas no other type of fish
There were 100s of birds of different types having a peck -Not one sick or dead bird or creature around

The fact that they are only one species is pretty interesting.

If it was a water quality issue, species would be semi-irrelevant.

Mullet and bream might survive when other species don't, but I suspect gars and yakkas would react similarly to water quality - so likely not a water quality issue.
