Tons of fish poisoned by shrimp farmers flood central Vietnam lake

Vietnam latest news - Thanh Nien Daily | Tons of fish poisoned by shrimp farmers flood central Vietnam lake: Environmental police in the central province of Binh Dinh said Sunday (December 30) that they have determined what caused the deaths of dozens of tons of fish in a local lake on December 28-29.

Locals complained of a vile stench.

Shrimp farmers in the Phu Hoa Lake allegedly overused chemicals used to kill the naturally-occurring fish to make way for their business, which flooded the surface of the 110-hectare lake in Quy Nhon Town with fish corpses, mostly tilapias.

About 150 employees of Green Tree Park and Urban Lighting Company in Binh Dinh’s Quy Nhon Town, the firm which manages the lake, on December 30 cooperated with shrimp farmers to collect and bury about 60 tons of dead fish.
