Worms infecting fish grow 4 times faster at higher temperatures and manipulate the behavior of fish...
Parasitic worms that infect fish, and have a devastating effect on fish reproduction, grow four times faster at higher temperatures...
"What we witnessed was that fish infected with the largest worms showed a preference for warmer water, suggesting that these parasites also manipulate the behaviour of host fish in ways that benefit the parasites by maximizing their growth rates,"...
This non-lethal weapon is based on the well established microwave auditory effect (MAE). MAE results in a strong sound sensation in the human head when it is irradiated with specifically selected microwave pulses of low energy. Through the combination of pulse parameters and pulse power, it is possible to raise the auditory sensation to the discomfort level, deterring personnel from entering a protected perimeter or, if necessary, temporarily incapacitating particular individuals
MEDUSA system makes use of the well-established Microwave Auditory Effect, in which microwave stimulation causes parts of the ear around the cochlea to expand thermally, which is interpreted as sound by the brain. The effect is a sound that appears to originate in the target's head, and can't be heard by anyone not directly in the beam's path.
Because MEDUSA's sound doesn't vibrate the eardrum itself, and thus the eardrum is not exposed to the damage potential that loud acoustic noise produces, traditional noise level limits don't have to apply with the MEDUSA system. So it's possible to dial in any level of sonic deterrent from mildly annoying up to physically and mentally incapacitating levels that the target has no way of blocking out of their head.
Crowd-Controlling MEDUSA Ray Gun Puts Voices Inside Your Head
The Sierra Nevada Corporation claimed this week that it is ready to begin production on the MEDUSA, a damned scary ray gun that uses the "microwave audio effect" to implant sounds and perhaps even specific messages inside people's heads... or suggestive subconscious comments that you don't really "hear" but can influence decision-making anyway
Now what if what is killing the fish is actually biological in nature. What if the fish are being killed by parasites/pathogens that we haven't been able to isolate yet? Or a few people know the cause, it is that we don't want people to know. Since we talked about the school of fish, lets go to school on fish pathogens/parasites that replicate in fish at a much higher exponential rate than normal:

This Fungus might be another reason... it seems to adapt to different hosts.

I can also remember watching a documentary on west cost sea lions or seals that are getting infected and going crazy of what I think where chemicals from pesticides that have over time found their way to the sea through rivers and such, I found it rather shocking I'll try get info on it.

I like your post. I especially like your talk about the Medusa weapon.
However, your post is confusing in the respect that it starts out talking about parasites, and then suddenly jumps to a weapon that puts voices in people's heads developed by the Sierra Nevada Corporation.
The news about the weapon is pretty astounding, and I would suggest the weapon itself have a post all on it's own under the appropriate topic area for experimental weapons.
Cheers.

I thought the bees were due to cell towers/ wifi, and pesticides.
The birds all dieing at once....seems like an invisible power, like a weapon, or an atmospheric phenomenom effecting them suddenly.
Good info.

Recent mapping conducted by the USGS off North Carolina and South Carolina shows large accumulations of methane hydrates.
A pair of relatively small areas, each about the size of the State of Rhode Island, shows intense concentrations of gas hydrates. USGS scientists estimate that these areas contain more than 1,300 trillion cubic feet of methane gas, an amount representing more than 70 times the 1989 gas consumption of the United States. Some of the gas was formed by bacteria in the sediments, but some may be derived from deep strata of the Carolina Trough. The Carolina Trough is a significant offshore oil and gas frontier area where no wells have been drilled. It is a very large basin, about the size of the State of South Carolina, that has accumulated a great thickness of sediment, perhaps more than 13 kilometers. Salt diapirs, reefs, and faults, in addition to hydrate gas, may provide greater potential for conventional oil and gas traps than is present in other east coast basins.
