According to Loc Binh Commune People's Committee, the phenomenon of dead fish is due to Cau Hai lagoon water - the brackish water fish farming area of ​​fishermen has been heavily sweetened after many heavy rains because of the effects of flood and storm from October 15 to 17. Due to too much rain, although the estuary is quite large nearby (Tu Hien estuary) but it is impossible to dissolve the water in 1 to 2 days. So, on the evening of 18, dawn on October 19, the fish died too much. Through inspection, the fish did not detect any signs. Currently all dead seabass are dead, the group of grouper, snapper have good resistance in these days are continuing to die.

According to Mr. Dung: "Although the fisheries sector has informed all farmers to harvest seafood before September 5, but due to the psychological desire to keep fish longer for heavy fish to sell more profit, people People do not realize, people do not anticipate the situation of fish dying because of the freshening of the water source due to the flood. 4 years ago this commune also happened a similar phenomenon ".

In Vinh Hien commune next to it, there are many dead fish with more than 10 tons. Many households are suffering when all the capital of silver billion suddenly flows with the water. These days, fishermen bring dead fish to market at a price of VND 60,000-100,000 / kg. Left, a large number of dead fish have not been sold for a long time, so they have to marinate or bury the land.
