I think Fritz "Chilled to Death" would be more accurate description
</div>
<div>
rather than "Froze to Death" . People often say "I'm froze to Death"
</div>
<div>
but they are still walking. Anyone froze to death will not say so!
</div>
<div>
A couple of years ago Striped Bass in Pictou Harbour chilled to death
</div>
<div>
and if I remember it had something to do with the discharge from the Power Plant.
</div>
<div>
In the good old days when we would fish trout or smelts through the ice
</div>
<div>
and took the catch home to eat, they would come to life in the warm water in the sink.
</div>
<div>
That was fresh fish!
</div>
<div>
Enjoy the winter

Hi All,
<br/>    I don't have any more knowledge than the person interviewed in the CBP article but the idea that the mackerel froze to death seems a bit strange to me. Winter's onset this year has been about average to date, so far as I can tell. Also it's a big lake; there should be parts where they could swim to that would be warmer? Why is it only mackerel that died? Wouldn't other species freeze to death if that was indeed the cause of death? Are there any other instances of this happening (fish freezing to death), in the Bras-dOr-Lakes or any large open bodies of water in the Maritimes? All the best.
