Brazil's 100 Tons of Dead Fish

Right on the heels of the dead birds falling from the sky and dead fish covering 20-miles of the Arkansas River, we now have at least 100 tons of fish.

100 tons of Sardines, croaker and catfish have turned up dead since last Thursday off the coast of Brazil.

It goes without saying that between Paranaguá and Guaraqueçaba fishermen depend on the daily seafood and we are talking about nearly 3000 fishermen.

Once again the suspicion is that fish may have died due to an environmental imbalance, but whatever the reason the city of Paranagua said the sale of seafood is temporarily suspended in the region.

It's difficult to keep up with all this death, but here's a list to help you follow along:
