LACK of oxygen caused the death of thousands of fish earlier this month in the sea off Qinzhou City in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, not radioactive contamination as previously rumored, a spokesman with the city government said today.
Local fishery authorities on April 7 issued a notice advising citizens not to buy or eat dead fish found in the sea.
Tests of the water and the fish showed that the level of oxygen dropped significantly due to thriving algae in the sea.
The water conditions were very suitable for algae growth, and the photosynthetic organisms had absorbed much of the oxygen out of the water, the spokesman said.
The situation is improving, the spokesman added.
