Paaafr Said Only A Group Of The Chem Fish Have Recently Perished
The Public Authority for Agricultural Affairs and Fish Resources said on Wednesday that “only a group of the [chem] fish have recently perished” in the territorial sea waters. All fish in the local markets are “safe” and only a group of “chem” fish have recently perished, said PAAAFR General Director Faisal Al-Hasawi, in a statement to KUNA.
PAAAFR has formed a panel to determine cause of the fish deaths at sea, he said. A team of the authorities has surveyed the bay to examine these cases, he said, indicating that it was the first time that deep-sea fish perished. He was alluding to “chem,” as the Kuwaiti natives call it.
Kuwaitis do not commonly eat the fish, known as catfish abroad. PAAAFR, with an experience of examining the fish perish phenomena in 2001 and 2003, has set up an operation room and central laboratories to examine samples of the dead fish. Yousuf Al-Najm, PAAAFR’s Deputy General Director for Fish Resources’ Affairs, said PAAAF R has patrolled the waters round the clock to keep close follow-up on the phenomenon. Up to 99 percent of the perished fish are “chems,” he said affirming that “this phenomenon is receding.” The dead ones are being cleaned up so that other fish would not feed on them and cause expansion of the phenomenon.
