VENICE, La. Thousands of fish and a dead whale on Monday were found dead at the mouth of a shipping channel in Venice.
Species include crabs, sting rays, eels, drum, speckled trout and red fish.
Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser, who sent in the pictures above, said there is no testing going on to determine if it's from the oil spill, although the northern Gulf of Mexico has suffered from a persistent dead zone of low oxygen, blamed on nutrient rich runoff from the Mississippi River ".
