Thousands of fish turning up dead in lakes in Illinois, USA
Dead fish are turning up everyday one Winnebago County lake. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources says carp are dying in Lake Summerset by the thousands. They say people do need to be careful, not just in the lakes, but also with their boats.
Two weeks ago the Lake Summerset Association say they pulled 400 dead carp from the lake.
“For some reason, a virus, a carp virus that is specific to carp has struck,” says Ken Clodfelter, fish biologist at the IDNR.
Biologists with the IDNR were called in. They are not sure how the fish got the virus but say more than likely it was something already in the water. Normally the fish would fight off. But because stress factors, the fish are dying from it.
“We’ve had a below average temperatures these summer so some of these carp may have held off in spawning and that stresses them and they are kind of a group spawner so all of a sudden they are together. It’s kind of like a kid with a running nose in a classroom it’s easier to pass it on when they are all together,” Clodfelter says.
There are an estimated 7,000 to 10,000 carp in Lake Summerset. Biologist say this virus could wipe out as much as 80 perfect of them.
It’s one of four lakes IDNR officials say the virus has been found in. They say it is still okay to boat in the lake but swimming near a lot of dead fish is not advised.
“You may not want to expose that much skin or swimming during that time when the bacteria counts are up but you can still use the lake,” Clodfelter says.
They say boaters need to be careful, too. They can unknowingly carry the virus from one lake to another if they don’t clean off their boat.
The Lake Summerset Association says they are picking up the dead fish daily to limit any bacteria build up. The IDNR says the virus usually lasts in fish for only a few weeks.

Thousands of fish killed ‘due to pollution’ in Al Qatif, Saudi Arabia
Environmental pollution in Saihat Village killed thousands of fish while harming the marine ecosystem and the fishermen’s income, Al-Hayat reported.
Eastern Province Fishermen Society Deputy Head Jafar Al-Safwani said a large amount of dead fish was found on Al-Naseem Corniche.
“Al-Naseem Corniche is a closed area of 800 sq. meters only. There are only about 10 openings to the Arabian Gulf in which water and fish can enter. Many fish populate in the area. Not even the plants and trees on the shore are getting enough water to grow, so they end up dying,” said Al-Safwani.
He added the summer season evaporates the water making the water in the area depleting the water volume and killing many fishes.
“The area is almost like a lake. The fishermen in the Eastern Province had demanded the authorities to open more channels and entrances from the gulf into the lake about nine years ago. However, no one responded to the fishermen and nothing has been done regarding the issue since,” said Al-Safwani.
He added he demanded experts to inspect the fish and prevent them from being sold in the markets to protect the consumer. “I am not sure if these fish are fit for humans consumption. Experts need to get involved to assess the situation. Such an incident is recurrent to rocky shores, although this is the first time fish have been found dead in that area,” said Al-Safwani.
He added many fishermen complained about the incident and others have gathered the fish out of the lake to clean it.
“Many fishermen wonder why so many fish were in the lake to begin with. Some said the summer heat drives them away from the open water and closer to the shore as they seek a cooler environment to settle in or they were seeking more oxygen,” said Al-Safwani.
An environmental expert said the fishermen in that area reported seeing red spots in the lake. “The dead fish sighted on Thursday died due to environmental pollution. There have been chemical substances and other types of waste such as cleaning detergents dumped into the lake through the sewage system. Although the act is illegal, it still happened harming the fish and the fishermen,” said the expert.
