LANGKAWI, Sept 25 (Bernama) --More than 500 fish of various species including sharks, placed in two large and five small tanks at Underwater World Langkawi (UWL) died from poisoning yesterday.
UWL deputy general manager Mohd Hafizuddin Abdullah said the dead fish were found floating in the tanks by a worker at 6.30 pm.
"It is estimated that between 500 and 600 fish from 30 to 50 of the world's best species died," he told reporters here Tuesday.
