Algal bloom: DOE finds oxygen levels off Teluk Bahang too low to sustain marine life


GEORGE TOWN: The coast of Teluk Bahang, where thousands of fish were reported killed by the recent algal bloom, has been found to be lacking in oxygen to sustain marine life.

The Environment Department (DOE) said, in a statement Wednesday (Aug 30), that tests taken at waters near the affected fish farms found the samples to be low in oxygen.
