GEORGE TOWN: Fish breeders in Teluk Bahang will temporarily stop buying fish fry after heavy metal contamination in the waters here. Breeder Ooi Hye Hin, 57, said many of them have suffered losses due to the sea pollution, which caused the death of their fishes. “We have been scooping up dead fish daily and that has hurt our income as many of us took loans to run our businesses. Ooi said he tried to contact fellow fish farmers at unpolluted areas in hopes of relocating his stock. Tan was the first to find high nickel levels in Teluk Bahang’s waters.
