Millions of fish found dead on the seashore in America: Most of them are of Manhaden species

Millions of fish have been found dead on the seashore in the US state of Texas. The case is of Quintana Beach. According to officials, these fish died due to suffocation in water due to the rise in temperature. According to the Wildlife Department official in Texas, there is a lack of oxygen in warm water.
This makes it difficult for the fish to breathe and they die. Most of the fish that die due to this process are of the Manhaden species. His videos are going viral on social media.
According to the New York Post, it is common for these fish to die in summer. The water near the shore heats up faster than the water deep in the ocean. Many times the fish get trapped in the water near the shore and cannot return.
Before the fishes die, they come above the water and try to take oxygen, while some go to the foothills for the cold. Dead fish have continued to come ashore in Texas since Friday. However, the administration has said that they are removing them and cleaning the beach.
