Inspected Laguna de Bay where about 5 million bangus have died in the fish pens (specially in Cardova) from lack of oxygen in the water caused by a number of factors: overstocking of fish in the fish pens, crowded fish pens, leaving no passageway for transport on water and preventing movement of water, dirty and matted nets effectively preventing the free flow of water from and into the fish pens, algae that proliferates this time of the year (summer).

When I arrived it was windy and rainy. The people and Dir. Of Fisheries [Felix] Gonzales said this would cause the water to circulate and thus effectively remedy the deoxygenation of the water.
