Large quantities of fish die in Nagoya's Horikawa River

NAGOYA, Japan - Dead mullets are recovered by a Nagoya city employee on the Horikawa River, a manmade aqueduct, in Nagoya on March 1. According to Nagoya city hall, several thousand dead mullets are floating on a 4.5-kilometer stretch of the 6-km long river, which was dug in the early 17th century and flows by Nagoya Castle. Experts suspect the fish died from low oxygen levels in the water. Reports of sightings of dead fish on the river were first received Feb. 23, Nagoya officials say. (Kyodo)
