Re: Lots of dead fish on beach - Why?

this does sound very odd - almost like a chemical spill or something - but then it would be unusual I'd have thought to reach conger eels... I was going to suggest by-catch but would have thought there would be some marks of a net at least.... yes I too would find this concerning as it is not something I have ever come across either.... who deals with marine fish is it the Environment Agency if its so coastal? Either way I'd want to inform authorities and I don't suppose you kept any samples?
