Thousands of dead carp in Clear Lake in California have Lake County residents holding their noses.
Officials are testing the fish for disease to try to determine the cause of the die-off, which began about a week ago and has littered the lake's shores with carcasses.
Lake County Fish and Game warden Lynette Shimek says viral and bacterial infections sometimes attack carp. The diseases do not affect humans.
