RAMON, Isabela-Agriculture and irrigation officials and fish cage operators here have joined hands in a massive cleanup along the tributaries of Magat River and waterways leading to the Magat Dam to prevent another fish kill in the area.

Lynfa Aquino, fisheries sector chief of the Isabela agriculture office, said the recent cleanup would ensure that the tributaries leading to the dam, the main irrigation and power source in Cagayan Valley, are free from pollutants.

Aquino said a sustained cleanup along Magat Dam and the tributaries feeding it is one of the preventive measures against pollution and fish kills. Fish cage operators in the province have lost at least P50 million due to fish kills in the past years.
