GULF SHORES, Ala. (WALA) - Laura Pfizenmayer walks the beach in Gulf Shores every morning. On Saturday, she was shocked with what she found.
"When we came down we saw dead fish. They were everywhere. I mean you don't have to find them. You can turn around and see them. They were everywhere," said Pfizenmayer.
Charles Kelly with the Gulf State Pier said they are spadefish and only spadefish. This causes him to worry.
"The thing is it's the same kind of fish. It's not a mixture of fish. It's a spadefish, which looks like an angel fish that goes in the aquarium, they just get much larger," said Kelly. "There's just too many of them dying and of the same species that's very unusual."
...
"The spadefish eat the jelly fish and we normally don't have this many around until late summer but they're all over, dead, and we don't know why," said Kelly.
