A fisherman collecting dead fish caused by renovation works and the ongoing hot weather conditions from a reservoir in southern Vietnam 's Dong Nai province on Apr 30, 2024. DONG NAI, Vietnam : Hundreds of thousands of fish have died in a reservoir in southern Vietnam 's Dong Nai province, with locals and media reports suggesting a brutal heatwave and the lake's management are to blame.

However, the efforts did not work and, shortly afterwards, many of the fish died, with local media reports suggesting as many as two hundred tonnes' worth of fish may have perished. "But owing to an unrelenting heatwave, the investor released the water into the downstream area, leading to the water level going down. As a result, fish died en masse," the newspaper reported.

The soaring temperatures are also impacting neighbouring Cambodia, where the high could reach 43 on the mercury.
