(ĐN)- More dead fish have been reported in the Cai river in Bien Hoa city’s Thong Nhat ward, according to the ward’s Farmers’ Association.

A total of 30 tonnes of fish reared in floating rafts in the river have died since the middle of May.

It was not the first time fish in the river had died in such large numbers. It was estimated that 300 tonnes of fish died last year, causing a loss to farmers of tens of billions of dong.

River pollution was one of the reasons for the mass fish deaths, said the farmers association of the ward.
