MORE than 200,000 fish - almost the entire stocks of 13 fish farms here - have been wiped out by a plankton bloom in the waters off Pasir Ris Beach.

The problem started about 10 days ago and may get worse. The fish in farms further out at sea, near Pulau Ubin, are beginning to die as well.

Already, fish farmers who spoke to The Straits Times are describing their losses as the biggest in the 10 years they have been in business.
