That explains it...I knew Charlie didn't shoot all those fish down here yesterday...he must've just found em dead and put them on his stringer.

A NOAA biologist pitched a second theory to KSBW, stating that the fish could have actually been trapped in squid boat nets and dumped by the boat's crew.

Sure hope that isn't the case... 

those are grunion....

Some kind of croaker...

Monterey Bay-based Marine Biologist Giancarlo Thomae said he believes the fish are anchovies that died from asphyxia after too many schools swam close to shore.

....thats some mighty fine marine biologistin' from this guy.  Really, anchovies? 

Croaked croakers.

Baby WSB's.    

Croaked croakers.

Croaked croakers.

Huh ... I didn't know they even offered a degree in Marine Biology at Cracker Jack University.

Yeah, uh, how could anyone call those croakers anchovies?

Just to clarify... I think the marine biologist was saying that the massive anchovy schools depleted oxygen, leading the the death of the croakers. Not sure why they said the species wasn't known at first... Clearly croakers x
