MORE dead fish have washed up on Adelaide's southern beaches overnight.

The fish washed up at Seaford and Biosecurity SA is an attendance to collect fish for forensic testing.

It follows a similar incident last week when thousands of dead fish were found across long stretches of sand at Moana, Moana South, O'Sullivans Beach and Christies Beach.

Biosecurity SA aquatic pests manager Vic Neverauskas said high levels of algal bloom from hot weather had depleted oxygen levels in the water.

Mr Neverauskas said the incident was linked to the dead fish that washed up on Eyre Peninsula this month, with strong westerly winds blowing the algal bloom back towards Adelaide.

"The best information suggests we are dealing with extensive algal bloom from hot weather," he said.

He said the desalination plant had nothing to do with the fish deaths.

Southern beaches star in new TV series

SOUTHERN beaches will be showcased across Australia as filming of a new children's TV series starts next month.

Onkaparinga Council voted at last night's meeting to allow vehicles on Port Noarlunga and Port Willunga beaches while Sam Fox: Extreme Adventures is filmed between Friday, March 1, and Friday, March 15.

Vehicles are normally prohibited from driving on southern beaches between Hallett Cove and Port Willunga.

Council staff recommended the filming be allowed because it would generate local revenue and promote the region.

The children's series, to be aired on Network Ten and the Cartoon Network, is based on action adventure books about a teenager who ventures into the wilderness.

The series, by SLR Productions, will also be distributed internationally.
