A death of fish can not always be avoided by the missions, it was declared to the Bochum fire department. On Tuesday again in Hamburg, a ton of dead fish was skimmed. Already at the weekend, the Hamburg Environment Agency has taken between four and five tons of dead fish in the waters of the Hanseatic city.
