Complains Of Fishermen From Lake Maninjau, West Sumatra, It's Been 7 Months Since Fish Is Rare Due To Pollution

SUMBAR - Maninjau Lake in Maninjau Regency, Agam, West Sumatra (West Sumatra), is polluted. As a result, the ripple fish commonly sought by local fishermen have been scarce for 7 months. Johanes (40), a fisherman in Lake Maninjau, said that the ripples have been rare since the mass dead fish in the lake in November 2022 until now. "Usually, several months of RUNuak fish will return and now do not appear in the lake, so I rarely get these ripples," he said in Lubukbasung, Agam, Sunday, June 4, confiscated by Antara. He added that the ripples became rare after the Maninjau Lake water was polluted due to the reversal of water from the base to the surface of the lake, so oxygen decreased in the waters. With that condition, the ripples look for clean water in the estuary and rivers around the lake. If they have reproduced, the ripples return to the lake. "This has happened in 2017, rare fish for up to two years and reappear in 2019," he said.
