Thousands of dead fish wash up along river in India
May 22, 2012
May 22, 2012 – INDIA – The problem of fish dying in large numbers has come to the fore of the banks of the Mula-Mutha (Bheema) rivers again. Fish have been found dead along the banks of the Mula-Mutha because of rising pollution and the latest in the series was recorded at Hatvalan near the Pune-Daund border last week. Since last week, thousands of Mozambique Tilapia fishes were found dead on the river banks at Hatvalan in Daund division, about 76 km from Pune. The fish apparently died because of thick blackish water flowing in the river bed. Ironically, Mozambique Tilapia is considered as one of the most resilient species of fish, known to withstand unfriendly environmental conditions. To make matters worse, the same dead fish were taken to market to be sold by local fishermen. Pune and Mumbai are the primary markets for these fish. According to experts, in May freshwater springs that open into the river dry up, and hence the dissolving factor of oxygen in the water changes accordingly. This increases the pollution level, causing the fish to die. A study conducted by Jal Biradari and Maharashtra Vikas Kendra last year had shown that the nitrate level in the Bheema river was 10-50 mg per litre, whereas the permissible limit specified by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is 45 mg/litre. The natural nitrate level should be less than 1 mg/litre, but due to pollutants, the level has shot up. Dr Ashok Rasage, taluka medical officer of Daund, said, “For a week, large numbers of fish were found on the river banks. We have sent them and the samples of water to the state health laboratory and are waiting for the lab report.” Dr Sudhakar Kokane, district health officer, also confirmed the incident but said he would get more information from officials. –Pune Mirror

More than 10,000 carp found dead in Blue Springs Lake
Posted: 06/06/2012
By: Mitch WeberBLUE SPRINGS, Mo. - Missouri conservationists are trying to solve a mystery in an area lake.
What started as a couple dozen dead carp turned into more than 10,000 in Blue Springs Lake.
Conservationists took water samples and couldn't figure out exactly what caused the deaths. Their samples have now gone onto a national lab for further analysis.
Between 500 and 1,000 carp have been killed everyday. Jake Allman, a biologist with the Missouri Conservation, started noticing carp with lesions under their scales the last few weeks.
"There's a little bacteria on the fish, but not enough to really have caused this," Allman said. "This feeding activity where they are brushing up against each other can actually spread whatever is making them sick."
If Allman had his way, this kill would only continue.
"Their spawning activity disrupts spawning of other fish. They root around in the shallows and uproot aquatic vegetation which is beneficial to native fish," Allman explained.
But it seems the carp are now starting to recover.
Lake officials are now keeping an eye on the E. coli levels in the water.
They had to close a swimming area during Memorial Day Weekend because of a threat of E. Coli from of all the dead fish.

Algae blamed for killing fish
08/Jun/2012By Felicity Harrold, Eastern ReporterComments:
The Swan River Trust’s Sam Cain and Ashley Johnson clean up dead fish from the river. Picture: Emma Reeves Buy this photoMORE than 2500 fish have been found dead in the Swan River since the start of the month and officers believe a fish-killing algae is responsible.The fish, mostly black bream, were found in a 13km stretch of the river between Bassendean and West Swan.Swan River Trust systems manager Mark Cugley said high-levels of fish-killing microalgae Karlodinium had been detected in the upper Swan and a clean-up operation was under way.
He said part of the water had turned red and a fishy odour had been reported.
“The Department of Health advises that people should not swim in, or fish in, water with dead and decomposing fish,” Mr Cugley said.
“They should also keep pets and other animals away from the fish because they may contain high levels of bacteria.”
Earlier this year, about 5000 fish were found dead in the river and scientists were unable to determine what killed them.
Anyone noticing dead fish in the area should

Are China's oil and gas pipelines to blame for thousands of dead fish in Burma's Arakan state?
Posted Thu, 2012-05-31 11:59 by Colleen CowgillLast week, a local Arakan paper released startling photos of thousands of dead fish along the Coast of Kyauk Phyu Township in Burma. While it’s not definitive what caused such massive amounts of fish to die, the proximity of the dead fish to China’s oil and gas pipeline projects and claims by locals that Chinese companies are blasting coral reefs with dynamite — a technique used to create gravel for the construction of seaports and oil and gas pipelines and to ease access for large ships — suggests the two might are connected. Since the blasts began occurring in 2009, local residents have witnessed an increasing scarcity of fish, as well as mass deaths of other aquatic animals such as turtles and prawns.Since late 2009, China has been constructing oil and gas pipelines, as well as seaports, in the Arakan state without consent or consultations from the local people. Daewoo international is also constructing a natural gas terminal and offshore gas platforms in the area. The projects began without transparent environmental and social impact assessments, and little information has been available on the potential impacts to the fragile ecosystem, including mangrove forests and coral reefs that are critical to the local fishing industry, a primary means of survival for many local communities. On top of this, local authorities have placed restrictions on fishing activities in the area, further threatening local livelihoods.
Here at ERI we have blogged extensively on oil and gas pipeline projects in Southeast Asia, and the caution and planning that should be used if such projects are to proceed. Already, there have been well documented abuses associated with the pipelines to China, including corrupt land confiscation practices, environmental destruction, incidents of forced labor, and in northern Shan State, severe human rights abuses as the Burma army attempts to wrest control of the pipeline corridor from several ethnic armed groups, leading to violence against local people, and internally displaced persons.Of the four million inhabitants of the Arakan State, a majority depend on sustenance farming and fishing to live, which in turn relies on clean water and stable ecosystems. The visual shock these pictures bring is followed by an equally shocking question of what millions of people will do if deaths like this keep occurring.Photo source: Narinjara.comsource: http://www.earthrights.org/blog/are-chinas-oil-and-gas-pipelines-blame-thousands-dead-fish-burmas-arakan-state................................................Studied massive fish kills in Chacahua
Posted by @ Shinji_Harper on Wednesday, May 30, 2012
No CommentsOaxaca, Mexico. - After the discovery of a large number of dead fish in the lagoon complex Chachahua occurred in recent days, various agencies conducted field studies and parameters to determine the causes of this phenomenon.
Photo courtesy of NotiHuatulco.comOverall coordination, agencies and academic institutions specializing in environmental and aquifer concluded that the lack of oxygen caused by the presence of algae caused the type Cochlodinium polykrikoides phenomenon called "Dinoflagenado" main cause of massive fish kills in the nature reserve located in Melchor Ocampo Tututepec.According to State Institute of Ecology and Sustainable Development of Oaxaca, instances were several samples of water and several fish analyzed, concluding that the death was caused by species of algae, mainly damaging larvae and juvenile fish production by mass of mucus and decay in the oxygen concentrations.This interagency group said that although this has killed hundreds of fish, there was some involvement in the other species on the lagoon complex, so we recommend making fishing activities normally.Moreover, roads and landing strips of Oaxaca is dredging a channel to feed fresh water to the lake and reduce the effect of the algal population.Also, the units involved in this research and analysis, will be aware in this area of the coast, making the samples necessary for the early detection of various phenomena that may disrupt existing species in the lake and affect the people of place.Participants in this study the National Commission of Aquaculture and Fisheries, the Federal Environmental Protection Agency, the National Commission of Natural Protected Areas, the Universidad del Mar, the Ministry of Health, the National Water Commission and the Committee on Safety Health Oaxaca and Aquaculture in coordination with the direction of National Park "Lagunas de Chacahua"source: source...........................

Samples from the dead fish might take up to a week to come back from a state lab for testing. Source: Dixon HayesOHATCHEE, AL (WBRC) -Investigators are trying to find out what caused a massive fish kill below Neely Henry Dam in Ohatchee.The fish were discovered Monday morning by an Alabama Power worker reporting to his shift at the dam. He saw a few dead fish before dawn, then in daylight saw many more.The state Department of Conservation's Wildlife Division joined officials with ADEM and Alabama Power Monday morning to take fish, temperature and water samples. They estimate some 13,000 fish were killed in a very short period of time either late Sunday night or early Monday morning.Most of the fish were smaller fish like shad and drum, but some larger game fish, including crappie, catfish, and bass, also started washing up.Dan Catchings, who works with the Wildlife Division's Eastaboga office, says it wasn't an oxygen problem because the fish had plenty of oxygen. He also doesn't believe it was bacteria or parasites, because the fish would've died more gradually if that were the case."A bacteria kill, or disease kill, will begin at low numbers and will accumulate over a period of days, the numbers will increase. But this has been a real sudden occurance," Catchings told Fox6 News"There's apparently something toxic in the water that's working on the fish," Catchings added. "Something affected them very quickly and very acutely."Catchings added there was no release of water just prior or during the period of time in which the fish apparently died, and no fish appear to have died above the dam.Alabama Power spokesperson Allison Fuqua told Fox6 News the dam has released water since Monday's on-scene investigation, including a few times Tuesday. She says that may happen several more times in the next few days in hopes of removing the dead fish, the odor, and whatever killed them.Tuesday the fish were starting to wash ashore at the Harts Ferry Boat Launch just off Highway 77. A large amount of them could be seen bobbing in the waters just beneath the dam, as fisherman still held out hope of catching live fish in an area known for especially large bass and catfish.But some of the fishermen, including Virgil Gray of Pell City, said they'd likely throw their catch back in lieu of the fish kill."I've been out here about six times, we've never seen nothing like this. It's just unusual," said Gray. " I mean, I've been in ponds in Minnesota, Nebraska and everything else, Missouri, but I ain't ever seen anything quite like this."Samples were taken by ADEM to a state lab for testing. Investigators say it could be a week before results turn up from any of the samples.source: http://www.myfoxal.com/story/18649253/state-alabama-power-workers-investigate-fish-kill-in-ohatchee
