Pembantaian Ikan di Danau Laguna, Filipina pada tahun 1993

Aku akan bercerita padamu tentang suatu kejadian di daerah tempat tinggalku. Aku tinggal di tepi sebuah danau yang sangat indah, disebelah tenggar Manila. Danau Laguna amat cantik untuk dipandang dan legenda yang bercerita tentang danau itu telah banyak di kisahkan orang.
Suatu hari, di awal bulan Agustus 1993, ribuan bangkai mengambang di permukaan danau itu. Mirip sebuah adegan dalam film horror, kami berjalan turun ke danau dan melihat danau tertutup oleh bangkai dan ikan yang sekarat. Surat kabar menyebut hal itu sebuah “pembantaian ikan” namun tak ada seorang pun yang tahu penyebabnya. Kami penduduk diperintahkan untuk menjauhi ikan di danau itu. Dalam sehari saja bau menyengat sangat menusuk hidung.
Beberapa hari berikutnya, kami mendengar banyak teori tentang apa yang telah salah terjadi, mungkin terjadi kekurangan oksigen dalam air sehingga ikan menjadi lemas. Tetapi setelah diperhatikan ternyata ikan itu mati tidak dalam waktu yang bersamaan. Apabila disebabkan oleh kurangnya oksigen biasa, maka sebagian besar ikan seharusnya mati waktu dini hari. Lagipula, tidak ditemukan bunga ganggang biru kehijauan, yang jika mati akan menghabiskan oksigen yang merupakan penyebab biasa kurangnya oksigen.
Lalu seorang petugas dari Departemen Perikanan dan Sumber Daya Air mengumumkan penyebab matinya ikan. Ia menyalahkan polusi air yang telah meracuni air dan membunuh ikan itu. Danau Laguna adalah danau yang indah namun banyak bahkan amat banyak orang tinggal di sekitarnya dengan pabrik amat besar serta sebuah pabrik kertas yang semuanya membiarkan limbahnya mengalir ke danau.
Hydrogen sulfide yang beracun ditemukan dalam air danau dan kemungkinan berasal dari pabrik besar tersebut. Sisa oli kotor dan limbah produk dari pabrik kertas juga kemungkinan menambah buruknya polusi air danau. Ikan mati karena keracunan bahan kimia. Kotoran dari pabrik dan perumahan menumpuk di sungai. Selama musim hujan, pada waktu hujan sangat deras, air sungai terpolusi mengalir, sehingga bahkan tambah meracuni air danau dan menyebabkan ikan mati.

I'll tell you about an incident in the area where I live. I live on the edge of a beautiful lake, adjacent tenggar Manila. Laguna Lake is very pretty to look at and a legend that tells of the lake has profiled many people.
One day, early in August 1993, thousands of carcasses floating on the surface of the lake. Like a scene in a horror movie, we walked down to the lake and see the lake covered by corpses and dying fish. The newspaper called it a "massacre fish" but no one knows the cause. We were told to stay away from the fish population in the lake. In one day very offensive odor.
A few days later, we heard a lot of theories about what was wrong happens, there may be a lack of oxygen in the water so the fish becomes limp. But after it was noted that fish do not die at the same time. If caused by a lack of oxygen used, then most of the fish should have died early in the day. Moreover, there were no blue-green algae flowers, which if dead will spend the oxygen that is common cause of lack of oxygen.
Then an officer of the Department of Fisheries and Water Resources announced the cause of death of fish. He blamed the water pollution that has poisoned the water and kill the fish. Laguna Lake is a beautiful lake, but many even very many people living in the vicinity with a huge factory and a paper mill waste to let all of which flow into the lake.
Poisonous hydrogen sulfide found in the lake water and is likely to come from big factories. The rest of the dirty oil and waste products from paper mills is also the possibility of adding poor lake water pollution. The fish died from chemical poisoning. Dirt from piling up in the factories and residential river. During the rainy season, when heavy rain, polluted river water flow, so that even adds to poison the lake water and cause fish to die.
