About 20 metric tons of tilapia worth P2.1 million have been lost in a fish kill that hit Lake Buhi in Camarines Sur province after Typhoon “Quinta” (international name: Molave) pummeled Bicol on Sunday and Monday, the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) reported. Nonie Enolva, spokesperson for the BFAR regional office, said the fish kill was caused by seiches, or waves triggered by wind gustiness, when the typhoon made landfall in Camarines Sur on Monday morning. Enolva, in a telephone interview on Tuesday, said stocks in fish cages in the villages of Iraya, Ebayugan, Tambo, Cabatoan, Salvacion and Sta. Elena in Buhi town died.
