Dead mullets soil clean Lamma beach

Lo So Shing Beach, which is situated in a quiet corner of the Lamma Island - and one of the cleanest beaches in Hong Kong - was closed on Wednesday due to a sudden influx of dead fish, with some of them washed ashore and creating foul smell in the hot weather. The Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department did not say if red tides had killed the fish, saying only they were about 150 dead mullet on the breach, each 5-6 inches long.
