“The amount of oxygen in WATERS, FELL UNDER THE LIMITS OF LIFE”

Kastamonu University Vice Dean of the Faculty of Fisheries. Assoc. Dr. Adem Yavuz Sonmez , the amount of oxygen for fish living in waters fall below the limits, he said.

Yavuz, mass fish deaths are experiencing Taşköprü district located within the boundaries Gökırmak in the Sudan by taking samples analysis and research, said: “River from water samples investigations in the water suspended solid fraction is concentrated and tolerance overcome their limits, and consequently blur the increase in the incidence and in the water of dissolved oxygen It was determined that the amount falls below the limits of life. fish gills study of the obstruction be encountered water in this way support the conclusion that exposure to physical contamination, “he said.

In water, nitrate, sulfate and ammonium amounts of national and international standards on that had been identified Yavuz, “This parameter is the height of the water, both physical and chemical many parameters adversely affected and death triggered suggest that. Especially in the current month in the water carrying capacity has dropped movement of these parameters higher experienced deaths easily explain. above listed causes of death have triggered the thought that a part important observational and constant findings in the following way can be listed in the water suspended solids concentration and turbidity data height in the area experienced rainfall relying on decisions from the water-borne particles and organic and inorganic substances which was formed by the condensation of water is probable. Indeed, substances that cause blockages in the gills of the fish is an indicator of them, “he said.

The increase in chemical water parameters in the water of one of the important reasons is very close to residential areas and intensive agricultural activities are carried out in the area, explaining that, Yavuz said:
