Mystery fish deaths in Cuevas rowing canal

Seprona, the Guardia Civil nature protection service has had to recover more than twenty tonnes of fish which had appeared dead and floating on the surface of the Cuevas del Almanzora rowing canal. Samples of the fish recovered have been sent to the Almeria environmental office of the Junta de Andalucia to be analysed in order to discover what caused their death.

The rowing canal was constructed for the Mediterranean Games which were held in Almeria in 2005. It cost 12.8 million euros to construct and was ceded by the Junta de Andalucia to the Cuevas town council last year.
