there is a ground hugging filmy dark green slime covering everything except the base of a huge rock.  First time It has SMOTHERED everything in shallows.  It is smothering almost everything. 

 

 In the deeper waters. A larger very light green blob is killing off anything it meets. 

 

I now understand the lack of fish. Plants convert sunlight into free Oxygen. TOO MUCH Oxygen can kill off fish in ice covered lakes with no snow cover to reduce the plants Oxygen outputs.    There are no Cormorants, Herons or Ospreys diving in for fish. But there are now a lot more sea gulls diving on very small fish on the surface. Most are at the 18 to 20 foot deep areas.

 

Life is tough for a fish.

Sounds like a couple species of filamentous algae...they do that, smother the water preventing light penetration and producing an excess of oxygen.

 

Just like humans, too much oxygen for too long can create problems in fish.

 

"Hyperbaric oxygen: toxicity to fish at pressures present in their swimbladders

B G D'Aoust

PMID: 5762189

DOI: 10.1126/science.163.3867.576-a

Abstract

When juvenile Pacific rock-fish, Sebastodes miniatus, are exposed to oxygen tensions equal to those in their swimbladders, they exhibit symptoms characteristic of oxygen poisoning in mammals and ultimately die. Thus their central nervous system appears to be as sensitive to elevated oxygen pressure as that of higher vertebrates, whereas the cells of the gas gland tissue inside the swimbladder must be insensitive to the partial pressure of oxygen which they help to produce."

Another reason to make sure the oxygenter in your live-well is performing properly.

Well The St. Lawrence River Is the USA   DUMPING ground for all incoming freighters with water from around the world. When they meet storms in the western Great Lakes  They have to take in or pump out water with everything from all waters around the world.

 

   Oh well.?

10-to-1 what's happening is what they're pumping out is their gray-water tanks (shower water, dish-washing water, etc). That adds things that filamentous algae LOVE - more nutrients for them.

 

Dozens of species of this type of algae exist - quite a number are native to NA - so the algae itself being transported isn't the issue...it's the introduction/expansion of nutrients in the water that enhance the growth of these algae that's the problem.

This is eerily similar to what I’ve noticed in some areas of the st Lawrence, but I’m 150 miles away. That algae is there every year in the shallows but it seems 10x worse this year.  I also wanna say that I’ve noticed the same behaviours concerning birds, but I’m going to keep an eye out for that. 
 

 

The odd thing is 10 years ago they started putting in CITY SEWAGE   ONLY  for all river towns. 2 years ago All the sewage stopped going into my section.  THat is when the green mush started.  We have nothing for leafy sea weeds anymore. Years ago all the small fish hid in a grassy carpet of weeds.  Now there are all kinds of weeds in 8: & deeper water. Those bass guys better fish like crazy.  The river is going to be a desert quickly.. Green slime land.

 

At this rate I will stop fishing & do homemade popcorn     .?

 

Did find a technical paper put out by a Cambridge Theoretical Society.  It is very bad news for rivers .  Many different slimes are around all the time.  Key reason for the appearances of different types is WHAT IS being carried & dropping out of the currents.

SOOO

there is basically 2 types. Organic waste eating slimes.  Or CARBON BASED slimes. Metals and mineral eating types of slimes.

It seems as though we were feeding a stronger food & sewage waste eating slime for centuries. Then the Green People took control of pollution problems. Sounds great.

BBUUTTT

Nature has a group of slimes that LOVE TO EAT all kind of metals & minerals. They can eat TOXIC rusts of toxic metals. They have the ability to eat & increase the toxic metal amount in their bodies.  This is a DEFINATE disaster for the food chains we like to use.

 

Another Oh well
