May 9--The state Department of Environmental Conservation isn't sure what has left a large number of dead fish in Dunkirk Harbor.
Hundreds, if not thousands, of gizzard shad -- 12-inch long fish that feed on small invertebrates and phytoplankton and are in turn eaten by larger sport fish -- have been found dead or dying in the harbor over the past several weeks.
Don Einhouse, senior fisheries biologist for the DEC in Dunkirk, said it's the largest shad die-off he has seen in the harbor in 20 years.
"There's a lot more carcasses around than we see in an average winter," he said. "It's pretty noticeable."
