Bavaria: Fish suffocated in Lower Bavarian river

Altfraunhofen (dpa / lby) - A hundred dead fish were found in a river in the Landshut district. According to the water management office, the fish suffocated due to a lack of oxygen in the Kleine Vils, as the police announced on Thursday.

The dead fish were discovered on Wednesday near Altfraunhofen. According to previous investigations, there was no contamination of the river. A day earlier, several dead fish had also been found in a neighboring village.

Due to the heat and the associated warming of the water, the oxygen content in the rivers decreases. This can lead to fish kills.
