I did read the OP.... there is major holes in your theory.
Only drum fish died... drum fish are not the only bottom feeders that live there.

"Solved!" means you have the results of tests in hand proving your theory. Do you? Who did the tests of the cadavers to prove this? Link to the results of the tests? Name of the Labs used? Which qualified Peers reviewed the work?edit on 1/5/2011 by Blaine91555 because: (no reason given)

what predator fish, live in that river? my point is unless you know the food chain there you cant make a statement like that..
also that doesnt answer the fact that fish will avoid eating other fish that are diseased or have been poisoned..

If we are talking about a toxic effect, then I would suggest that if all the bottom feeders were exposed, the catfish is the toughest mofo! I have seen them survive 2 days out of water and a week in a bathtub, not to mention they have been sloshing around in the dirtiest part of the lakes and streams the longest so maybe they have a bit more resilience when it comes to toxins? Just speculating....
Peace,

I live along this river where the fish died and just and hour from where the birds fell.
Just trying to give you some food for thought.
