The mass death of fish is probably caused by low oxygen levels due to abnormal heat in the country.
Tons of dead fish have washed up on the coast of south-eastern Australia due to the heat. On Saturday, March 19, the Associated Press reported.
The NSW Department of Industry said the fish die-off coincided with a heat wave that had put pressure on an ecosystem already affected by recent widespread flooding.
The massive fish die-off was likely caused by low oxygen levels as water levels dropped after the flood, according to the department. In hot weather, fish need more oxygen.
Residents of the town of Menindi, located at the site of the mass release of dead fish, complain of a terrible smell, from which even masks cannot save.
Earlier it was reported that due to the shelling of the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station on the Dnieper, fish were dying in large numbers.
