Bo Vyne owns Cattle Ranch next to james pond, James pond has phosphates:
~50 fish were found in the gray bay dead. 21 of those fish had died from clamped fins, meaning they died from loss of oxygen. Which could be caused from phosphates.
~The manure from the cattle has phosphates.
Bo Vyne is guilty!
Algal Blooms in James Pond:
~With less oxygen in the water the fish die off, causing them to float downstream into the gray bay

Algal Bloom
~Sediments turn the water a muddy color. When the water is darker it attracts more heat. Warm water can not hold as much oxygen as cold water. Causing the fish to die off from oxygen loss
Sediments in james pond:
~When it rains the dirt is more likely to run into the water
~Cows are eatting the grass, causing the dirt to be more loose

~Results from the sediment running into the water can cause James Pond to look something like this
~Plants grow alot and when they die it cuts off the oxygen for fish
~Algal blooms can be caused by manure
