Schiller Park Fish Kill Explained | Columbus News

Dead fish floating in Schiller Park’s pond? It’s not pollution—it’s a natural fish kill caused by heat, no wind, and low oxygen. Even with aeration systems running, bacteria at the bottom and warmer water drained oxygen faster than it could be replenished. Larger fish like carp and catfish, needing more oxygen, were hit hardest. The city cleaned up 30-50 fish on July 20th. Fish kills happen year-round—fall, winter, or spring—each tied to different environmental triggers. It’s a harsh but natural cycle for aquatic life.
