DOE: Dead fish incident in Sungai Gombak due to lack of oxygen

The Kuala Lumpur DOE said August 21, 2019 although the water quality Sungai Gombak was rated at class three for pollution, deemed unsuitable for water activities, investigations did not find any chemical residues which could be linked to poisoning. — Bernama pic

She said preliminary investigations revealed that the cause of the death of the fishes, which were mostly tilapia, was due to heavy rains which caused the river’s underlying sediments to rise due to high currents, blocking the gills of the marine species. “According to preliminary investigations, we found that most of the gills were filled with sediments from the river base, whereby the fish died from lack of oxygen. We also referred to the Fisheries Department for verification.

Nor Aziah said samples taken by the DOE had been submitted to the Chemistry Department for analysis and the results were expected to be known within a month.
