Плимеры:

This summer, the coast south of Shanghai was blanketed with dead fish, shrimp, crabs and clams, all killed by the largest red tide ever recorded in China. At its height, the 2,700-square-mile bloom was big enough to cover Maryland's western shore from the Pennsylvania border south to Annapolis and west to the District of Columbia line.

The air was saturated with a strong sulfur smell, and the beach was strewn with dead fish. The sea birds had died in their nests.

The whole bottom was covered with dead fish. Big and small, from batfish to giant moray, all were dead on the sea bottom.

Many of us have seen first hand how damaging dynamite fishing can be to the marine environment. I once dived Pedro Blanco, in Chinese waters east of Hong Kong, just after some dynamite fishermen had left. The seabed was carpeted with dead fish, and while we did manage a good lunch out of it, it was very depressing to see. More recently I dived a Japanese wreck near Malapascua and found hundreds of dead and dying fish lying all over the bottom.

переводим плохой русский вариант

"усыпан" бывает драгоценными камнями, звездами... чем-то красивым и привлекательным... дохлыми бырами не "усыпают" ИМХО...

completely covered by/with dead fish
