”Phantom fish” Ito mass death, Hokkaido, lack of acid due to heat, river in Soya region
北海道北部の宗谷地方の河川で今夏、「幻の魚」とも呼ばれる絶滅危惧種の大型魚イトウの死骸が多数見つかっています
Many dead bodies of the endangered large fish Ito, also known as ”phantom fish,” have been found in rivers in the Soya region of northern Hokkaido this summer.
According to experts, it is likely that oxygen deficiency was caused by the record heat rise in water temperature and the drought caused by lack of rain.
Local conservation groups also call for refraining from fishing until the river level returns to normal and increase vigilance.
