Cagliari, thousands of dead fish in Terramaini after the rains

Mullets on the surface in the channel, the phenomenon caused by the storms of recent days

2 giugno 2023

The heavy rains of recent days have triggered the now usual lethal mechanism for mullet (and not only) in the Terramaini channel, in Cagliari : the oxygenation of the water is reduced and the surface is filled with dead fish with their belly up 'upward.

A known phenomenon, not caused by pollution. Now the carcasses will travel to the sea. The hope is that what happened in past years will not repeat itself: there were so many dead animals that urgent remediation was necessary, due to health risks and the smell.

The video was made by Claudio Lorai from the embankment road that runs parallel to viale Marconi, along the waterway.
