Yep... that's what happens when you've got water with no oxygen in it. In fact, there is an entire dead zone that forms around the mouth of the Miss. river every year -- and keeps getting bigger and bigger. Nothing to do with the oil spill at all; everything to do with all the fertilizers and such that flow into the Miss. and out into the sea, causing a huge algae bloom that depletes every bit of available oxygen from the water.
