Fish in the keys are spinning in circles. One swordfish was rescued and will be released when he is well.
To me, it looks like their swim bladder is infected. This is common when fish are sick, but what is causing the illness? They say it's not red tide. They are investigating, but not very fast because there are articles about this dating back to November 2023.

Fish along the Florida Keys are spinning in circles until they die—and no one knows why
Scientists are chasing clues, but haven't yet found what's causing the strange behavior. “It is very strange to see such a prolonged event affecting so many different species.”
