    Excerpt
    Typhoon “Lando” did not just wreak havoc in northern Luzon but also in its periphery in this province. Lando (international name: Koppu) caused an upswelling at the bottom of Lake Buhi in this town, resulting in a massive fish kill of cultured tilapia valued at an estimated P14.5 million, said Dennis Del Socorro, director of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) in Bicol. Buhi is the biggest lake in Bicol located in Buhi town in Camarines Sur where the smallest commercial fish, locally called “sinarapan” (Mistichthys luzonensis), is found. Some 114 metric tons of tilapia owned by 68 fish cage owners were lost in Monday’s fish kill, a consequence of the bad weather condition since Friday last week.
