Fish kills are not uncommon in Minnesota, but a new study paints a dire future for fish in northern lakes.
"We were mainly curious how many of these mass fish die offs might happen under future climate change," said Simon Tye, a PhD candidate in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Arkansas and lead author of the study.
The study used a decade of documented fish kills across Minnesota and Wisconsin and more than one million water and air temperature profiles from 8,891 northern lakes.
It also used projections of future temperature increases as a result of climate change.
Assuming the current pace of climate change does not slow, the computer models predict a 600 percent increase in fish kills by 2100.
