The ministry reported that despite a small improvement compared to the previous weekend, the levels of electrical conductivity and chlorophyll in the water were still alarmingly high. These readings indicate, for instance, the salinity levels and the level of algae pollution. The authorities confirmed that toxicity levels in Frankfurt (Oder) were also quite high the previous weekend, an indicator of toxic algal bloom known as golden algae.
At the Winterhafen in Frankfurt (Oder), numerous dead fish were discovered on Tuesday.
The environmental department stated that hazard level 3 - the highest tier in the warning system for the Oder set up following the environmental catastrophe in 2022 - remains in effect. Experts believe a bloom triggered by Prymnesium parvum is responsible.
So far, the current weather conditions have positively impacted the Oder with high water flows, so the situation isn't as severe as in 2022, according to the ministry. However, experts attribute the mass fish kill in the Oder in 2022 to high salt levels, low water levels, high temperatures, and the toxicity of golden algae.
