Hai Duong City supports collection of dead fish on the river

On the morning of April 8, Hai Duong Urban Works Management Joint Stock Company continued to mobilize officers and employees to collect fish in the Au Thuyen sluice area.

Hai Duong Urban Works Management Joint Stock Company mobilized 40 officers and workers from its affiliated units and enterprises to use cars, excavators, boats, canoes... to collect dead fish floating on the Sat River from Au Thuyen estuary. These were fish from cages raised on the Thai Binh River that died and floated into the Sat River.

Previously, on April 7, Hai Duong Urban Works Management Joint Stock Company collected about 32 tons of dead fish and transported them for destruction according to the correct procedure. The dead fish drifted from Thai Binh River through Au Thuyen sluice to Cau Cat area (Hai Duong City). Hai Duong Youth Union also sent 50 youth union members to support localities and units in collecting fish to avoid environmental pollution...

Dead fish drifted into the Sat River.

In recent days, units, organizations and individuals in the area have joined hands and supported households raising fish in cages whose fish died to share the difficulties these households are facing.

Faced with the unusual fish deaths, on April 5, the Department of Fisheries and the Aquaculture Research Institute I of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development went to Hai Duong to quickly check the fish deaths. The working group took water samples from fish cages and river water for testing. A quick check at the location where many fish died showed that the dissolved oxygen concentration in the water was very low, and the concentration of toxic gas was high, leading to a lack of oxygen in the fish.
