Of what I'm posting here is what I perceived from a conversation with our Fish & Wildflower folks here in North Carolina ... they (the DNR people), said that when there is too many fish populating an area (like a lake or pond or river), there is a natural occurrence that will produce a virus to kill off the excess. At the time we were experiencing a big fish kill on some of our coastal rivers and this, of course, turned out to be some our big corporate hog farms that were dumping excess run-offs from the holding ponds into creeks that emptied into the rivers.
