Large numbers of menhaden swim up the Mystic, suck up all the oxygen, then die

WBZ reports why thousands of dead fish are now piling up on the shores of the Mystic River; reports the die off is "natural," rather than anything caused by chemicals or microbes.

A large group of animals sticking together, using up all the oxygen, and dying in mass with nothing to blame but themselves sounds strangely familiar.

(My condolences to the fish.)
