Officials are eyeing a declaration of a state of calamity in Lake Sebu town, South Cotabato province due to a fish kill. /PDI
Muyco said the severe fish kill started on Tuesday but there were already minimal occurrences as early as Jan. 1.
He said the situation, which usually happens during the rainy season, was mainly caused by “kemohung” or “kamahong,” a phenomenon characterized by the depletion of dissolved oxygen in the lakes’ waters. It was the result of eutrophication, a situation that occurs when a body of water receives an excessive nutrient load and results in an overgrowth of algae or algal bloom, Muyco explained.
