Thousands of dead fish found floating in Piauí stream in Piaui, Brazil
Thousands of fish were found dead in the Curimatá Creek, which is one of the tributaries that flows into the Algodões II Dam, located between the municipalities of Júlio Borges and Curimatá, in the southern region of Piauí.
The environmental activist, the pedagogue Ronaldo Luz, defines the situation as an “environmental disaster” and explained that the death occurred during the piracema, which is the period of reproduction of the fish.
“There was a lot of rain in the region, there was water in the creek, but it was very fast evasion; the fish rose because of the period of the piracema, to the spawning, and could not return to the dam. Every year we have this period, but the competent authorities do not take initiative to avoid this situation, “said the activist.

Dead Pelicans, Turtles and ‘countless fish’ wash up in a lagoon near Sydney, Australia
The mysterious deaths of pelicans, turtles and countless fish have alarmed residents north of Sydney who are now demanding action.
The dead and dying creatures have been found around Bushells Lagoon, near Wilberforce northwest of Sydney. The rotting carcasses are also creating an awful odour.
Concerned resident John Varley said one of the biggest wetlands on the Hawkesbury River is now in a “distressing state”.
Most put it down to a combination of unusually high water temperatures, and pollution.
Xuela Sledge of Greater Sydney Landcare said the water quality has been decreasing continually over the past four or five months.
“The smaller amount of dilution of any chemicals in the water is certainly going to have an impact on the wildlife in the lagoon,” Ms Sledge said.
The devastation of aquatic life includes pelicans, native eels, water hens and turtles has worsened in the last week.
Whatever the cause is, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Hawkesbury council have yet to take responsibility. Locals say both organisations need to come to a mutual understanding before more aquatic life is wiped out.
Locals say they can’t win though. Even once the water returns so will the carp – an unwanted pest in the region.
