The strange fish behavior was first reported last fall.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has ruled out a slew of potential issues contributing to bizarre fish behavior believed to be connected with a rise in fish deaths, though more testing is needed to determine a cause.Fish began exhibiting a strange 'spinning' behavior in the Florida Keys last fall, the FWC said in a recent update.
After conducting tests, officials have ruled that oxygen levels, salinity, pH and water temperature are not at fault for the strange fish behavior or deaths. Officials also tested for more than 250 chemicals. Results showed that the chemicals were either not detected or were below biological thresholds. The results of a heavy metal test are still pending.Officials also conducted fish necropsies, or animal autopsies, and learned that disease or bacterial infection were not at fault either.
