Mayor Nestor Pulido told The STAR in a phone interview Thursday that extreme heat, sudden rainfall, and overstocking, which resulted in low dissolved oxygen level, were the reasons for the fishkill, the first ever that happened massively in this town which is considered as one of the top bangus producers in Pangasinan.
