The state Drainage and Irrigation Department received complaints of dead fish in Sungai Bayan Lepas in George Town this morning.

Local government exco Chow Kon Yeow, in a statement this afternoon, said immediate action was taken to investigate the site where the dead fish were seen and take a river water sample.

"The sample will be sent for tests and it will be be about two weeks before we get the results."

"The state Environment Department has said that it was possible that the fish had died at the river mouth due to water pollution and were washed upriver at high tide," he said.

Chow added that the dead fish were of the Bluespot Mullet (Moolgarda seheli) species, which lived at the river mouth.

Dead fish were previously reported in Sungai Dongdang in Paya Terubong last month and in Sungai Kerian in Nibong Tebal on the mainland in March.
