Tote Aale nach Abwasserleck in Malmö

Durch ein Leck in einer Abwasserleitung gelangte zwei Tage lang Abwasser in den Kanal von Malmö. Am Strand von Ribersborg wurden hunderte tote Aale gefunden; an mehreren Stellen wird vom Schwimmen abgeraten.

Das Abwasser hat für trübes Wasser und einen unangenehmen Geruch entlang des Kanals von Västra hamnen bis zum Slottsparken gesorgt. VA Syd gibt an, dass das Ablassen des Abwassers die am wenigsten schädliche Alternative war, und hat die Anwohner dazu aufgerufen, weniger Wasser zu verbrauchen.

Das Leck wurde am Freitagmorgen um 03:00 Uhr gestoppt. VA Syd hat keine Kenntnis von den toten Aalen, wird den Vorfall jedoch gemeinsam mit der Stadt Malmö untersuchen.

Der Aal steht seit 2005 auf der Roten Liste und gilt als vom Aussterben bedroht. Anwohner und Geschäftsinhaber bezeichnen die Funde als schockierend und sprechen von einer Umweltkatastrophe.
