When asked why they would die off, she said most likely, "lack of oxygen". Interesting......?

As I know nothing about the life cycle of mussels, and not wanted to go off half cocked, thought I would submitt it to the board members for comments. Is this an annual event or unique to this point in time as a result of lake conditions? As Paul Harvey would say "Here's the rest of the story".
Was told last week while at the lake KDFW was there early last week checking oxygen
levels coming out of Wolf Creek Dam.
They reported the oxygen level is 9% way off from the 18-20% the aquatic life needs to
survive. We are going to see a big fish fish kill this Fall ,it;s just a matter of time.
