Thousands of red tilapia dying in Thailand. When, where, now? I looked around but found no news except the link after hearing the rumor. Anyone know if it's true?

But, as New Scientist suggested on Tuesday, just because many animals appear to be dying at the same time doesn't mean the beginning of the end of the world as we know it.

Nor does it mean that the events are necessarily linked. It may just be that the high-profile events in Arkansas have sparked a flurry of reports appearing in the media rather than an actual increase in occurrences. Many similar "rains" of animals are caused by tornadoes that move over water, sucking up animals and spitting them out elsewhere.

Sleep tight. :jap:

The reporter doesn't know the difference between Vietnam and Thailand (not much worse from other western journalists actually). Her own map, and the article it links to, shows that the 150 tons of dead red tilapia are in Vietnam and doesn't show anything in Thailand.

Try red tilapia in a French lime sauce. Lovely.

We're going to close this topic. The fish kill off was in Vietnam. So this post is not Thailand related. If the OP wants to research this in more detail, please open a new post in the Southeast Asia forum.

P.S. The bird deaths in Arkansas have been attributed to a private party who set off a mass of fireworks. The birds that died can not see at night and ended up flying into buildings, trees, and even the ground after being scared out of their roosts.
