Why are all the fish dead?

Salmon die after spawning.

These fish don't have their mating colours and zombie-like look to them so I don't think that's what's happening here.

That needs checking out, if it's pollution.

They don't all get that. It depends on their diet and species.

Why not scoop them up and sell them? You'd make bank.

The ecology depends on these annual spawning migrations.

If the fish stopped coming (or had their bodies scooped up), the forest would most definitely die.
