The cooler fall weather is wreaking havoc on fish in Lake Erie.
A number of dead fish washed up on the shore near Rondeau this week.
Jolanta Kowalski with the Ministry of Natural Resource says it can be blamed on a natural phenomenon called lake inversion.
“What happens with an inversion is due to high winds and the direction it was coming from,the water spins over it’s self,” says Kowalski. “One of the events there was a temperature change of 7c. That can be a real shock to cold water types of fish such as Sheepshead, which are the ones that have been washing up at Rondeau.
Kowalski says the die-off has nothing to with illness, and isn’t a public health risk.
