MONROE CITY – The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) received a report in late July of a fish kill event on Route J Reservoir in Ralls County.
An investigation into the report revealed that this was likely a natural fish kill event, and that there is no reason for concern.
At Route J Reservoir, a large algal bloom led to low oxygen levels in the water, causing the death of several thousand fish — mostly gizzard shad.
