Some of the stuff put into the delta that has cause a fish kill. Spoke with a friend on the 6th of Aug 2018. He has told me that a few buddies of his has seen the die off this year. I guess nothing should surprise us in this state any longer! *facepalm

It's not Round UP but Rodeo(made for aquatic use and is pure glyphosate) that is being used. Glyphosate all the same and the victim of some real arrogance from it's detractors. Real stupid on the state's part using this stuff since it effects such an emotional neurotic response.

I think it could be physically removed or farmed to reduce a huge percentage of it?

Or get some Manatees?

I've use it in my 1/2 acre pond for forty years for weed control and have not killed and fish. Roundup will....
Don't believe everything you read.

Is it possible that the invasive weed problem is the result of not enough river flow out of the Delta (too much pumping)?
