Argentina Confirms that hypothermia killed fish
Saturday May 7, 2011 Salta
The results of the samples to the Ministry of Environment team won this week in the dike Las Lomitas, the amount of dead fish, confirmed the effect of low temperatures and lack of oxygen in the water body. In addition, there was high pH.
The director of Biodiversity, Ministry of Environment, Marcos Rodriguez, said that the first laboratory results make low oxygenation rates, the slightly elevated pH of the water and the fish analyzed had sediment in the abdomen.
Rodriguez said: "We can not yet speak of alkaline water" but said he hoped the full results of the laboratory for more information. The final results will be next week.
Rodriguez said that with the data obtained, one can not rule out a contaminaci?n.Desde the Ministry of Environment has confirmed that this is the first time this year that this type of phenomenon occurs.
The species that inhabit the dam are silversides, tents, old trout and sunfish.
The large number of dead mackerel were those who warned of the impact of low temperatures in vertebrates. The silverside is more sensitive to changes, so it is called "the thermometer of the water."
This weekend and next week, continue preventive measures. Sport fishing is prohibited and consumption of fish in the dam.
