Drought-related fish kills reported

Associated Press

SOUTH BEND – The state Department of Natural Resources says low water levels caused by the drought are leading to reports of fish kills throughout Indiana.

DNR spokesman Phil Bloom said the kills are being caused by warming water and low water levels.

He said there have been reports of kills ranging from five fish in the 18- to 24-inch range in the Tippecanoe River near Winamac in Pulaski County, 60 miles southwest of South Bend, to hundreds of fish at Atterbury Fish and Wildlife Area in Johnson County, 30 miles southeast of Indianapolis.

Bloom said there might be one positive coming out of the low water levels, though. He says the DNR is receiving reports of Asian carp becoming trapped in backwaters off the Wabash River in southern Indiana and dying off.
