Mass fish death in E China county, cause unknown

Millions of dead fish have been found in several townships in the county since Aug 31, with reported losses of up to hundreds of millions of yuan.

The cause of the mass death remains unknown. Fishermen said it could be due to the pollutants discharged from the enterprises in the upper reaches on rainy days. (ChinaDaily)

A large amount of cultivated fish were found dead for unknown reasons in recent days in the Minjiang River’s Shuikou Township section, which is the largest aquaculture base in Fujian.

The floating dead fishes, decaying in hot weather, have been polluting the river, the main drinking water resource of the province. The cause is still under investigation. (Xinhua)
