Since mid-September, mass die-offs have been reported among fish of the Epinephelidae family (groupers, comb groupers, and dusky groupers) in the waters surrounding Crete and the Cyclades islands. Dead fish have been washing ashore in alarming numbers, with many others found struggling at the water’s surface. Most reports come from Crete’s Lasithi region and the islands of Tinos, Syros, and Andros.
