Excerpts;

Researchers have measured critically low oxygen levels in King Harbor after a massive die-off in the Redondo Beach marina, California.

Brent Scheiwe, program director at the SEA Lab in Redondo Beach, said he took dissolved oxygen level readings in the harbor after the first reports of the dead fish came in Tuesday morning and found them at almost zero.

“The levels were critically low,” he said. “There was pretty much no oxygen in the water.”
