摘要

A mystery organism which is believed to have killed thousands of fish in Chesapeake Bay, on America's mid-Atlantic, coast, and prompted a major public health scare, should become less mysterious within weeks as scientists rush to track down the organism and identify the toxins it releases. Multi-agency research is already under way to investigate the dinoflagellates, which are thought to have killed some fish and caused large lesions on many others. According to an early study, fishermen who work the infected waters have suffered memory loss and skin problems. The infected fish are menhaden, which is never eaten but is harvested in huge quantities for use in pet-food and as a source of cheap oil for margarine.
