Yes, you are right, it probably is just warm water, but I don't know what else they might be doing. Champion paper company, near my home, claims that what it was putting into Perdido Bay was harmless to the environment. Huh! We kept letting them dump their stuff, and soon the bay water turned brown, thick, nasty foam poured up on the beach, and all the fish died. A chemical test confirmed the cause of the wipeout to be from emissions from Champion. But, you may be right; it could just be a genetic mutation or it could be runoff from farms.
