Researchers in Iceland are blaming low oxygen levels in a shallow fjord for the deaths of tens of thousands of tons of herring.

Masses of dead herring have been found in Kolgrafafjordur fjord for the second time this winter, raising concerns about Iceland's fishery.

The Morgunbladid newspaper estimated the value of the 10,000 tons of fish found dead this week at 1.25 billion kronur ($9.8 million). An even larger number of fish died in December.

Roughly one season's worth of herring has been lost, Johann Sigurjonsson, director of Iceland's Marine Research Institute, said Wednesday.

However, Kolgrafafjordur fjord is on the western side of Iceland: [link to mapcarta.com]

Compare that with the oceanic currents in the area: [link to www.fisheries.is]

It certainly appears that the cold, dense water from the East Greenland current is choking off the warmer Gulf Stream current in the Iminger Current.

Massive ice melt is NOT typical this time of year, and there's no signs this is tied to "global warming" (i.e, top-level observations of Greenland ice sheets)

So it all points to massive volcanic-based ice melt somewhere north of Iceland!
