According to him, the number of fish that have now died is not alarming for the fish stock. “Six hundred dead fish may sound serious, but that will simply be replenished,” says Hoetmer. “If many pike or perch die in an area, young fish take their place again. They then grow up more quickly or are eaten less quickly, that will take care of itself. Nature is very resilient.” Yet this type of death should not occur too often, he says. “If you get this every year, the population will decline in the long term and then we should be concerned.”
