| Description | HAMBURG – Swimmers have killed about 500 fish in a northern Germany lake, with their urine causing algae that poisons marine life.
The mass death in the past two weeks has occurred in Eichbaum lake, in the port city of Hamburg, The Local reported.
"Swimmers who urinate in the lake are introducing a lot of phosphate," fishermen's spokesman Manfred Siedler told Bild newspaper. "We're calculating half a liter [0.15 of a gallon] of urine per swimmer per day." |
