PASAMAN BARAT - The Fisheries Service of West Pasaman Regency, West Sumatra, stated that the water of the Batang Lubuk Landur River in the area did not contain sulfur which caused the death of 3 tons of fish.

"After checking the dead fish, it was caused by the disruption of fish respiration by mud flowing from the upstream of the river," said Acting Head of the West Pasaman Fisheries Service, Zulfi Agus, at Simpang Empat, West Pasaman, Antara, Wednesday, March 2.

According to him, after checking the water quality by the West Pasaman Fisheries Service team, the river did not find any element of sulfur. For water quality, oxygen is normal, Power of Hydrogen (PH) of water is also normal and ammonia is also normal.

"Based on these findings, the team concluded that there was no element of sulfur in the case of the dead fish," he said.

On Tuesday, March 1, about three tons of fish banned from Lubuk Landur, Pasaman District, died, allegedly due to the large amount of mud flowing into the river.

There are about three tons of crispy fish that died due to the large amount of mud from the avalanche upstream of the river. As a result, fish gills are disturbed by water filled with mud. "The fish that died were buried immediately while the fish that were still alive were moved to a safe place," he said.

His party transferred the fish to the tributary that flows near Surau Lubuk Landur.

"We hope the fish that are still in the river can survive," he hoped. The Regent of West Pasaman, Hamsuardi, also came to the location to see the dead fish and gave directions so that those who were still alive were saved.

This is because the Lubuk Landur banned fish is an icon of Buya Surau Lubuk Landur's religious tourism which is crowded with people.
