Gabon: Mystery over dead carp fish [The Morning Call]
It is the second time this is happening after hundreds of the fish, were spotted floating belly-up on the lakes of the river in July.
Authorities then imposed a ban until the end of August on fishing and trade in carp while investigations were carried out. Locals denounced this ban arguing it was a plan to kill the local economy.
For generations, the fish has been a source of livelihood for several locals. And they question why the phenomenon is only affecting this fish species.
