Texas State Aquarium Files Suit Against Chemical Supplier for accidental kill of 400 sea creatures
From Texas Standard:
It's been exactly one month and a day since a ghastly event down in Corpus Christi.
On that day, workers at the Texas State Aquarium applied a white powder to the tanks of two huge exhibits: the Islands of Steel and the flower garden. They were trying to treat an infestation of a potentially deadly flatworm that attaches itself to fish.
And then something awful began to happen: The fish in both tanks began to die. A scramble to save the fish was fruitless. In all, nearly 400 aquatic sea creatures were killed.
It now appears that the chemical used to treat the fish was not trichlorfon, which would have been safe, but instead a chemical used in motor fuels and paint. The container was mislabeled.
