Philippines –More than 750 tonnes of fish died due to heavy rain falls.


In Philippines a drastic situation arises due to the weather condition which put the fishing industry at great peril. Due to heavy rain during the weekend many cities of the country lost hundreds of fish from their lakes due to a drastic reduction of oxygen in the water. The Taal Lake situated in Manila city lost 750 tonnes of fishes.  Moreover, the most affected fish were the Tilapia and the Milk fish which were bred fishes. This heart breaking event worries everyone as it’s a matter of concern for those who earned their living by fishing and other who are worried about their country hygienic conditions. The carcasses of fish are becoming increasingly difficult due to lack of space to bury the carcasses and due to decomposition of the corpses. Although the officials and sanitation are trying their utter best to get rid of these fishes, the Mayor of Talisay believed that there are quite much to do as there are just too many carcasses piled up at the edge of the lake.
