Residents around Maninjau Lake are experiencing a massive fish mass die-off. Scientitsts believe it is due to a sudden change in weather conditions!

According to locals, this is not the first time. Back in 2009, a storm liberated poisonous sulphur and fish-feeding sediments from the lake bottom, which resulted in around 7,000 tons of dead fish.

I remember a big fishkill in lake Laninjau in the year 1997. But there were not as many karamba’s (net cages) in the lake as today !
It may well be a hundred times worse now !
