Photos: 600,000 Fish Poisoned in Fuhe River

On Monday, fish started dying in huge numbers in the Fuhe River in Wuhan.

Blaming toxic levels of ammonia in the water, over 600,000 pounds dead fish had been poisoning by what the Wuhan Municipal Government described as "severely high".  The fish clogged up a forty kilometre stretch of the river, and government sampling has fingered the local Hubei Shuanghuan Science and Technology Stock Co. Ltd, where ammonia levels were an astonishing 196mg per litre.
