A large number of dead fish were found floating in Brays Bayou over the weekend. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department believes recent rainfall contributed to the incident. According to the agency, this type of event occurs almost annually in certain waterways.

Stormwater runoff from the rainfall can lead to increased algae growth, which affects oxygen levels in the water. This can cause fish kills, particularly in the early morning.

Further information about the incident and its causes is available from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
