Excerpt from A Cause of Death of Fish in the Southwest It is the purpose Of this paper to deal first with a chemical investigation which was made of the water of a small, Shallow lake near Santa Rosa, New Mexico, in an effort to ascertain the cause of the sudden death of the fish in this lake; and second, with the possibility of applying the results obtained in this investigation to the bettering of conditions in many Similar Shallow lakes of the Southwest. Park Lake, or Stink Lake, is located just outside Of Santa Rosa. It is about 200 yards in diameter, and is of a fairly uniform depth of from nine to twelve feet. It derives its water supply from an underground flow, and has prac tically no overflow. It has been stocked with large-mouth black bass; and, considering its size, it has afforded fairly good fishing. So the sudden death of practically all of the fish in this lake, about July 7, 1936, was regarded in the light of a catastrophe. In view of similar occurrences in the past, in which sudden death of fish was caused by abrupt chemical change in the water, some such chemical disturb ance in this lake was suspected; and the investigation which is here described was undertaken.
