[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_kill Fish kills]] are unfortunately a very real problem that have become increasingly frequent from various causes of human origin. Still, most of these are in the range of days or hours rather than decades as portrayed in media. An exception is for underwater explosions, that can either immediately kill or at least disable a fish's swim bladders, causing them to float up. This is a tactic that has sadly become a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blast_fishing common way of fishing]] in parts of the world.
