These toxins affect fish neurologically, causing them to spin and behave erratically. The critically endangered smalltooth sawfish are among the species that have been seen spinning and sawfish mortalities have been documented at unprecedented and alarming levels.

The heat wave may have also changed the algae in the water. "Fish spinning" in the Florida Keys is linked to toxic algae that blooms after periods of environmental stress, such as heat waves that cause coral bleaching which can lead to blooms of seafloor-dwelling algae that produce neurotoxins.
