Columbiamissourian.com:  Columbia - Thousands of dead fish have surfaced at Corporate Lake due to high heat and lack of rainfall, according to the Missouri Department of Conservation.  Water temperatures exceed 90 degrees in the man made lake on Sunday and Monday, Phillip Pitts, Fisheries Management Biologist for the Conservation Department said.  Corporate Lake is located off Southhampton Drive, next to John Garry Drive.  The restaurant Swan Lakeshore Dining overlooks the lake.  These high water temperatures cause low oxygen fish kill, Pitts said, which means there is a depletion of oxygen from the lake and the fish suffocate in large numbers.  The majority were sunfish and the rest were common carp, bluegill, crappie, golden shiners and several other species.  Pitts said he visited Corporate Lake at about 12:30 pm Monday.  "I saw a lake with thousands of fish piping towards the surface," he said.  "It's low oxygen related and very common for this time of year."

Commentary:  I have placed 22 articles about fish deaths since the beginning of the year, many when there was no heat - temperatures were very cold, then moderate, and now they are getting very hot.  The 22 articles I have placed on this blog aren't even a tip of the ice burg with regard to the mass fish kills since the beginning of the year; I don't even have enough time to list them all.  There have been many, many different explanations from oxygen depletion to "fish may have been lost" and went to close to shore!  I have placed a map of the mass fish deaths throughout the world in one of these articles and the globe is full of fish deaths, with record numbers unheard of before.  The experts may not know the Word of God, but I do, and God's Word tells us that these things will happen before the Lord returns, "The land will mourn and everyone that dwells in it will languish, with the beasts of the field, the fowls of heaven, yes, the fishes of the sea will also be taken away" Hosea 4:3.
