The Marine and Water Bureau (DSAMA) said in a statement yesterday that its staff members yesterday removed a total of three tonnes of dead fish from the waters off Fai Chi Kei and Ilha Verde.
According to the statement, officials from the Environmental Protection Bureau (DSPA) believe that the low level of dissolved oxygen in the Inner Harbour’s brackish water had killed the fish.
The bureau dispatched a number of boats to remove the dead fish after receiving reports about a large quantity of fish carcasses floating in the water, the statement said, adding that its workers finished removing the fish by the evening.
