The situation in Lake Sebu is dire as fish kill occurrences, which used to be a yearly event, have become more frequent in recent years.
GENERAL SANTOS, Philippines – Fish cage operators in Lake Sebu in South Cotabato were forced to harvest tons of tilapia, many of them dead, on Thursday, January 12, following another fish kill in the area.
An attempt was made to impose a moratorium on fish cage operations to allow for full rehabilitation of the lake, but this did not push through due to opposition from some fish pen operators.occurrences, but not anymore today. Overcrowding of fish cages has caused more waste and debris to settle at the lake’s bottom, resulting in siltation and reducing the lake’s area by about 11 hectares.
The fisheries code provides that the utilization of a lake for aquaculture must not exceed 10% of its total area. However, the more than 5,000 fish cages in the lake now exceed a dozen times what the lake’s ecosystem can accommodate, environmentalists said.
