The officials say this type of fish is especially prone to dying from a lack of oxygen
Is there any knowledge if these are freshwaters, or off the coastline.

The incident happened at Sebastian Inlet State Park which is on the east coast of Central Florida. It is an inlet so it is salt water with access to the ocean. I did not look to see but perhaps there are also fresh water sources pouring into the inlet.
Welcome to Sebastian Inlet State Park
You may have recently read about a fish kill at the park. The fish kill is a temporary condition and we regret any inconvenience or discomfort it may cause. Nature, in the form of crabs, birds and fish--along with time--will alleviate the situation. If you have any questions or concerns, please call the Ranger Station at 321.984.4852.
Maybe that means that the algae is not in regrowth, that the water is oversilted or something.

The official park website is apologizing for the dead fish, so the issue is a real one.

Lack of oxygen is a major concern that scientists were tracking all last summer.
Don't forget we have a growing black mass/blob near me here at Perdido Key as well. Supposedly it is a mixture of algae and dying sealife due to lack of oxygen.edit on 9-2-2011 by getreadyalready because: (no reason given)

But this is certainly strange.
It's funny now that people once said that this occurs naturally all the time - I call BS.
