Fishermen scoop dead fish from the Moshui Lake on April 26, 2005 in Wuhan, Hubei Province, central China. One hundred and ten tones of fish had died in the lake in a few days, causing serious economic loss for fish farms. Experts suggest climate, with temperatures reaching nearly 30 degrees centigrade in the city, high humidity and low air pressure are the main reasons for the death of fish. The Wuhan Bureau of Aquatic Products is investigating the incident.
