Heatwave: thousands of dead fish in Bridgwater pond

The heatwave is เล่นสล็อต believed to have caused the death of thousands of fish found floating on the surface of a pond.

The fish were first discovered on Tuesday morning at Blakespool, located near Mandarin Close and Mallard Way in Bridgwater, Somerset.

Prolonged hot weather can cause low oxygen levels, higher water temperatures and algal blooms, which can be fatal to fish.

The Environment Agency said it had been informed.

Blakespool Angling Club's Andy Reynolds said "several thousand" fish had died.

Mr Reynolds, the club's secretary treasurer, said they had seen similar incidents in the past, but it had never been this serious before.

"About 600 fish were taken out yesterday and about half a tonne's worth today.

"We have this most years but we have never lost as many as this year. It's exceptional. The biggest problem we had before was the fish being stolen," he said.

He said that they were now looking to restock the pond and take steps to prevent the issue happening on this scale in future.
