Officials are still awaiting test results but fish farmers believe that untreated waste discharged by factories along the Dong Nai River had killed a large number of fish in just one night.
A total of 241 families in Dong Nai Province said they woke up on 4 January and found most of their fish dead, floating on the river surface. There has been no official estimate of the damage.
