In Pingtung's Fangliao Township, a large number of dead perch were discovered along a 3 kilometer stretch of the shoreline. According to Pingtung County government, the dead fish were discharged by a private fish farm. The fish farm will be given a fine of NT$ 3 million.
Over 10,000 dead perch were discovered along a 3 kilometer stretch of the shoreline in Pingtung's Fangliao Township. Local residents were shocked, as they have never seen anything like this in three decades. This is the only place in Fangliao where people can play on the beach. At the weekend, many parents bring their children here to enjoy their days off. Now, rotten odors drift across the beach, and more and more dead fish are being washed away into the sea. Local residents are worried that the dead fish may cause pollution.

Some dead fish have a prolapsed intestine. The bulging eyes and swollen belly suggest poisoning. If the fish were poisoned, then the sea and the land are both contaminated.
Since the dead fish were all of the same species, it is probable that they are farm-raised. Pingtung County government carried out a joint investigation with the Coast Guard Administration and found that the dead fish were discharged along with wastewater from a private fish farm. The 7th River Management Office and the CGA will cooperate to remove the dead fish within two days. Meanwhile, the county government will ask the fish farm for a cleaning fee to cover the expense.

(Has it been confirmed that the dead fish were discharged by the suspected fish farm?) We are now contacting the owner of the fish farm to find out who made the decision to discharge the dead fish. We will definitely find out who did this. At the same time, we will ask people to help remove the dead fish.
Pingtung's Environmental Protection Bureau made phone calls to the suspected fish farm in the evening of Apr. 9. However, no one answered the phone. The EPB therefore assumed that the fish farm deliberately discharged the dead fish. Fines for violating of the Water Pollution Control Law can be up to NT$ 3 million, starting from NT$30,000. If the fish farm refuses to deal with the problem, it will face stiffer penalties in violation of the Marine Pollution Control Act, resulting in a fine over NT$1 million or even a jail sentence.

屏東枋寮海域出現大量死魚,綿延海岸線將近3公里,死亡的魚都是鱸魚,還飄出惡臭。縣府前往調查,確定是一處私人魚塭排出的死魚,將開罰業者最高300萬元。
鱸魚眼睛凸出、肚子膨脹,出現在屏東枋寮這處海域。居民嚇了一跳,因為死魚沿著沙灘綿延3公里,數量超過1萬尾。民眾說,他們在當地生活30幾年,從沒見過這景象,尤其這海域是枋寮唯一戲水的地方,只要假日就有家長帶著孩子前來,如今海灘飄來腐臭味,死魚也被海水不斷捲入海底,讓他們看了很心痛。更怕汙染環境。
==當地居民 張仁吉==
其中有一些(魚)已經爆炸了啦
就是腸子都外露啦
(眼.肚凸起)中毒會有這種症狀
對 那真的萬一是中毒的話
海水也(汙)染
土石也汙染了
縣府啟動聯合稽查機制,由於死去的魚都是同種,初步研判是養殖魚,會同農業處及海巡署沿著附近魚塭追查,確認死魚從一處私人魚塭,透過廢水一起排出。目前先商請7河局調度人力搭配海巡協助魚體清除,預估2天內清除完畢,而清理費也將向業者求償。

已經確定是
在(業者)他的魚塭排出來的嘛
魚塭的地主 現在我們聯繫
那到底是哪一個人(決定排的)
或者怎麼樣 我們一定
一定要追查到
(另外)現在正在來這個
(請人幫忙)清除這個魚屍
環保局表示,被懷疑偷排死魚的業者,下午沒接電話,認定他蓄意排放死魚。這樣的行為,已違反水污染防治法,將處3萬到300萬元不等,而要是對方再不出面處理,不排除用更嚴厲的海洋汙染防治法,開罰100萬以上罰金甚至是將人依刑法移送。
