GENERAL SANTOS, Philippines – South Cotabato’s Lake Sebu has been hit by another wave of fish kill, which began on Wednesday, January 25, and so far affected millions of pesos worth of tilapia again over a three-day period.
The affected cages contain an estimated 253 tons of tilapia of various sizes, with an average market value of close to P18 million, according to lake warden Rudy Muyco.occurred just as tilapia raisers were still trying to recover from their losses from this month’s fish kill that affected almost half of the fish cages in the lake.
Tilapia are now sold along the roadside from P30 to P70 per kilo, depending on size, attracting wholesale buyers to the highland town, which is known among domestic tourists for its scenic spots and tilapia delicacies. He said more than half of the lake was already “technically dead” and needed drastic measures to revive it, such as a long-term moratorium where all fish pen operations must stop.
He said what was needed was a moratorium that would last six months to even one year in order to allow the lake’s full rehabilitation.
