5:43Now PlayingExperts have found toxic algae in water samples from a river on the Polish-German border. The discovery could explain the mass deaths of fish along parts of the river that had left experts baffled about the cause.
High levels of salinity, sulfate, and chloride have the greatest influence on golden algae distribution and bloom formation in inland waters.
Climate change could play a role, with higher temperatures leading to more water evaporating from inland waters and higher salinity levels.
The die-offs come as Germany experiences one of its driest summers in recent memory, with river levels falling across much of the country.
