W hat is a Jubi l ee ?
The cry is eagerly awaited each
summer by Mobile Bay residents. They
are excited by the prospect of gigging
hundreds of flounder or catching
tubs of crabs in just a few hours. It is
thought by many, that Jubilees of this
magnitude occur only two places in
the world, Tokyo Bay, Japan and right
here in Mobile Bay.
Jubilees are the result of a lack of
oxygen in the water. Jubilee-affected
fish and shellfish cannot carry out
normal muscular activities, such as
swimming. They move slowly to the
surface to reach oxygen and seem
reluctant to swim even to escape
capture.
No one knows when or where on the
beach the next jubilee will occur. Most
summers there are several but you
can’t even be sure of that!
