Tata Steel UISL investigates unusual timing of tilapia mortality
Key Points:
• Tilapia fish deaths reported at Jayanti Sarovar
• Mortality occurs at unexpected time, unlike previous years
• Tata Steel UISL implements corrective measures, investigates cause
JAMSHEDPUR – Tata Steel UISL launches investigation into unexpected fish deaths at Jayanti Sarovar, focusing on tilapia species mortality.
Jayanti Sarovar has witnessed an unusual occurrence of fish mortality.
The deaths primarily affect tilapia, a rapidly breeding fish species.
Typically, such events happen during summer months in this water body.
However, this year’s fish deaths have occurred at an unexpected time.
"This occurrence has not been witnessed in past years," stated Tata Steel UISL.
In response to previous mortality events, several corrective actions were implemented.
These measures included timely removal of algae to maintain water quality.
Additionally, chemicals were sprayed promptly to balance pH and oxygen levels.
Moreover, therapeutic chemicals were applied to prevent and treat fish diseases.
Furthermore, regular removal of tilapia from the lake was carried out.
These efforts seemed effective during the summer, as no mortality was observed then.
"We are currently investigating the cause," assured Tata Steel UISL.
Experts have been assigned to study the unusual fish deaths.
The company promises to take appropriate steps based on the findings.
Meanwhile, the unexpected timing of the event has raised concerns.
Tilapia’s rapid breeding cycle may be a factor in the current situation.
"We’re committed to maintaining the lake’s ecological balance," a company spokesperson added.
In conclusion, the investigation aims to uncover the reasons behind this puzzling occurrence.
