Fish in Bong Son lake died, floating white on the water surface

People discovered a mass death of wild fish during the hot days. The dead fish were mainly tilapia, carp, bighead carp... with a quantity of about 100 kg.

After receiving the incident, Ha Tinh Urban Environment and Construction Joint Stock Company sent workers to collect the dead fish to destroy them and clean the entire lake surface to avoid polluting the water source.

Dead fish are mainly carp, tilapia, grass carp...

"The fish in Bong Son Lake died not because of water pollution but because the continuous hot weather caused the fish to go into thermal shock, floating lethargically on the water surface. The heat combined with the growth of red algae from the bottom of the lake caused the fish to lack oxygen. Currently, the weather has rained and the temperature has decreased, so there are no more fish deaths," said Mr. Nguyen Duy Bang.

Environmental workers clean up dead fish

According to Mr. Bang, this is not the first time fish in Bong Son Lake have died. Fish deaths occur every year, however, this year due to the intense heat, a larger number of fish have died.
