KUALA LUMPUR: The Fisheries Department is still investigating the cause of death of some 100 tonnes of fish in Pulau Kukup, Tanjung Piai.

Deputy Agriculture and Agro-based Industries Minister Sim Tze Tzin said samples had been taken to identify the reason for the fish's death as well as to ascertain the exact losses suffered by fish breeders on the island.

"When the sea is not deep enough, heavy rainfall will cause sedimentation at the bottom of the sea, leading to a lack of oxygen and biochemical oxygen demand . This will cause the fish to die," he told Dewan Rakyat on Tuesday . The government, said Sim, had set aside RM100mil for a disaster fund under Budget 2020, to which the breeders could apply for funds with a 4% interest rate as assistance.
