Tons Of Dead Fish Found In A River In San Martino In Rio, Italy

It will take a week to receive the results on the sample of contaminated water made by ARPA in the areas of Reggio and Rubiera Gazzata and figure out what caused the deaths of tons of fish in the cable Tresinaro New Year’s Eve. Doubts about the causes seem very few and the hypothesis that a spill of sewage may have resulted in a mortality of so many fish is almost certain.

Meanwhile, the cable has been cleared by a specialist company and the dead fish were disposed of. First to notice the disaster were some residents of Gazzata, Molino, where it was found the highest concentration of dead fish. The spillage of sewage would be carried out not far away, near the Tassarola, then the liquid would expand along the cable up to San Martino in Rio and close to San Biagio di Correggio.

Thanks to the painstaking work of volunteers and fishermen, nearly three tons of fish, mostly of large size, were saved even though it will be hard to restore the original fauna tract Tresinaro. The police investigations are continuing and increasingly gaining the hypothesis that lead to the disaster has not been a local farmer but a tanker.
