The price of tilapia in the towns surrounding Lake Mainit in Agusan del Norte has gone down to Php 60 per kilo, from Php 120 to P140 a month ago, before the fish kill happened, but there are no buyers.

The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources’ initial findings point to low dissolved oxygen as the cause. MindaNews photo by ROEL N. CATOTO
