Due to recent hot weather, lack of oxygen led to fish mortality in Kaohsiung's Fengshan River, causing a foul smell. Environmental officials discovered low dissolved oxygen levels, attributing it to organic decomposition from the heat, resulting in mass fish deaths. The Bureau is investigating potential pollution sources responsible for the incident. Authorities are cracking down on businesses illegally discharging waste into the river, issuing fines ranging from 30,000 to 3 million NT dollars, emphasizing ongoing efforts to protect water quality.
