BFAR: At least P12-M worth of losses recorded due to fish kill in Lake Sebu
The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources on Wednesday said at least P12 million worth of losses were recorded due to fish kill in Lake Sebu, South Cotabato.
Briguera said that fish kill also occurred in the lake last year due to the depletion of the dissolved oxygen level. “Meron po talagang nangyayari diyan na overcrowding dahil sabi ko nga ang posibleng dahilan ng fish kill ay yung pollution. Yung mga unconsumed feeds doon sa mga pinapakain sa mga isda at possible rin nagkakaroon ng pagkaharang ng mga daluyan ng tubig at naapektuhan yung sirkulasyon ng tubig doon sa lugar,” he said.
