A number of dead fish found at Paradise, Lower Pomeroon, are more than likely a result of jelly fish poisoning.
There have been recurring reports since Monday of dead fish found floating in that Essequibo area.
Fisheries officials reportedly took samples.
Yesterday, the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said that it is working jointly with the Fisheries Department of the Ministry of Agriculture in investigating a report of fishes dying at Paradise.
The Ministry said that it is not likely that mining or other activities are involved.
“Several inspections were conducted and water and specimen samples were taken. Initial reports indicate that the fish died as a result of jelly fish poisoning and not as a result of any synthetic chemicals.”
The EPA is slated to conduct follow-up investigations, the Ministry said.
