Toxic Algal Bloom Fish

When this devastating environmental catastrophe commenced, we were told that only creatures with gills would be affected, such as fish and those shown in this confronting series of images. Occasionally we stumbled upon fish that were taking their last breaths after literally jumping out of the lethal water that was killing them. Throwing them back was therefore not an alternative. The most susceptible species of all were the baby leatherjackets usually bluefin ones, and they head the leaderboard of mortalities on iNaturalist.
