Sebastian fish kill could be warning sign of more to come due to rising temperatures

A fish kill in Indian River County could be the first warning sign of more marine life dying off due to high temperatures and runoff, according to a biologist.

Dr. Zak Jud, director of education for the Florida Oceanographic Society, said on Sunday morning he got a call from a friend who is a charter fishing guide in Sebastian, who then sent him pictures of hundreds of dead fish around a dock on the Indian River Lagoon.
