A large number of black-chin tilapia fish were found floating

Governor of Bangkok on Tuesday visited Makkasan Pond to inspect the situation after a large number of black-chin tilapia fish were found floating. The governor revealed that on Monday, water was drained to prepare for incoming rain to prevent flooding. Additionally, the treatment plant was repairing pumps totaling 20 hours, which halted water discharge.

Consequently, the fish congregated in the area with low water levels, leading to their death. On the 16th of July, with the pumps functioning normally and water being discharged, the situation has improved, and the number of floating fish has decreased.
