it's not yet clear what killed the fish, which appear to exclusively small menhaden, also known as peanut bunker. That's like English, only different.

One can only hope that more dead fish will wash up in Martha’s Vineyard while the Obamas are there.

Never heard of menhaden...but bunker fish are called bunkers along Jersey shore; aka “bait.”

CBS has the grammatical gaffe too. It should say “to BE exclusively small menhaden”.

Do you know why New Jersey got all those chemical plants and that dissgusting smell as you drive down 95 and Massachusetts got barney frank, mitt romeny, and johnnie kerry?
New Jersey got first choice.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menhaden
The Atlantic menhaden (Brevoortia tyrannus) is a small, oily-fleshed fish
The maximum size for the Atlantic menhaden is usually 15 inches (380 mm).
They are bright silver, and have black spots extending horizontally from the gill plate to the tail, with the largest directly behind the gill plate. They are quite flat and soft fleshed, with a deeply forked tail. The edges of the fins and tail often have a yellowish hue. At sea, schools may contain millions of members.

If I see fish on shore washing up I give them a bar of soap and send them back in the water.
Fish are too stupid to reaize that they can’t breathe on shore-
But that’s where the soap is so they keep coming.

State environmental and wildlife officials say it’s not yet clear what killed the fish, which appear to exclusively small menhaden....
****
So is it the ghosts of the dead fish that are appearing to the small menhaden? Is there an aquatic psychic involved? And I have heard people describe this fish or that as “small”, but how can something be “exclusively small”?
