Don't panic. We all have small numbers of fish die in our ponds; we don't see them most of the time before they sink or are eaten. Your are only seeing small BG and minnows, the fish you have the most of, not your original stockers. I consider this encouraging.

I don't know about salinity. The water quality experts will probably be able to give you a better answer if you post the numbers from all your water quality test results.

Also, what has the weather done during the period you have seen the dead fish? Any great big or rapid temperature swings? Any really windy periods?
