I guess you've never seen a porpoise ride the bow wave of a ship, huh?.... I'm pretty sure that the only fish killed by the passage of a ship would be the one too stupid to move out of the way... which explains the 'survival of the fittest'.........that's in deep water.... in shallow waters, like the canals in FLA, where boats propellors are known to wreak havoc with the large manatees, yes, the injury to them could kill.... they cannot move fast enuff to avoid a speeding boat.....

The engines might. They are big, sharp propellers. The bow might too, but the whole point of the vessel is to gently move the water aside. Come to think of it, it might be the changing pressures or something. Like constantly hitting on a fish tank will eventually kill the fish.

it could be possible, but not really. now maybe once the ship hits the floor. it may realese all the oil, and other chemicals of the ship
