'Quinta' aftermath: Deaths, fishkill
Excerpt
Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) Region 5, meanwhile, reported an initial 20 metric tons of tilapia valued at P2.1 million were lost. BFAR-5’s Regional Fisheries Laboratory conducted water sampling in six villages — Iraya, Ibayugan, Tambo, Cabatuan, Salvacion and Sta. Elena. Results showed low dissolved oxygen (DO), ranging from 0.18 to 4.37PPM, and very high ammonia (ranging from 7.58 to 10,679 mg/L) content in Lake Buhi. Normal and tolerable ranges of DO are below 5PPM and ammonia at only 0.050 mg/L or lower.
