Fish die from hypoxia
    2019-01-07  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

A RESIDENT who was identified by his family name Chen said that many Mozambique tilapias, a type of fish native to southern Africa, were found dead in the Dingshan River in Pingdi Subdistrict, Longgang District, according to the Southern Metropolis Daily.

The reporter visited the site and found that the fish in the river were either dead and giving off a stench or on their last breath.

Following the report, the environmental protection and water bureau in Longgang District immediately organized the relevant departments to investigate the case and sent out 40 staff to visit over 50 companies along the river. No company was found discharging raw sewage into the river and no industrial waste standard was found exceeded. The death of the fish was originally confirmed to be caused by hypoxia as the river is in a period of drought, according to the authority.

The district’s river management center has dispatched workers to clean up the dead fish. The reporter visited the place again, and fortunately the dead fish had disappeared from the river along with the odor.

The bureau explained why the river had dried up: The Dingshan River originates near the boundary of Dongguan and Huiyang in Huizhou City, with its lower course running into Pingdi Subdistrict and finally flowing into the Longgang River. Based on the river’s comprehensive treatment plan, unqualified water in the upper reaches of the river in Huizhou City must be directed out of the main stream. Moreover, the river experiences a drought season during winter, so the amount of water flowing downstream has been diminished. (Wang Jingli)
