Well, that is just one basic question since there was a reported fish kill incident recently in Pangasinan and Batangas. As for me, it is better to wait until we get a go signal from the government that it is safe to serve this to our family.
I wonder what causes fishkill? According to the news, the loss of oxygen should be the one to blame, but I guess there’s more to that after I got this information from Virginia Cooperative:
Sudden, large fish kills in ponds are often the result of fish suffocation caused by nighttime oxygen depletion in the summer. Fish kills from oxygen depletion usually occur in the early morning hours (at dawn) in very rich (green water) ponds following: (1) the die-off of a large algae bloom, (2) the decay of water weeds after treatment with a herbicide, (3) the turnover of oxygen-poor bottom waters following a thunderstorm, (4) the runoff of livestock waste and other organics after a heavy rain.
I just wish this will be over soon since I do not want to eat red meat that much. How about you?
