[Reporter Chen Yanting / Pingtung Report] Dapeng Bay National Scenic Area in Pingtung County is the only single-mouthed lagoon in Taiwan. The area under its jurisdiction mainly focuses on water recreation in the bay area, but in the past few days, you will see big-tailed gentian scorpionfish on the shore of the bay area. When tourists saw the corpse, they felt the stench and disgust, and they felt that it hindered the development of tourism. They criticized that the dead fish were still littering at any age.

The huge gentian grouper is a common farmed fish along the coast of Pingtung, and the wild species in the sea are the delicacy of fishermen, and are usually eaten on the table. There are corpses on the beach that have started to grow insects, and they say "unsanitary and disgusting!". The tourist surnamed Yang said that since last week, large-tailed fish corpses have been found floating on the shore one after another. It is really immoral to throw corpses in the National Scenic Area.

Local tourism operators reluctantly pointed out that in the past, when the north wind blew in the winter, if there were dead fish in the bay, the wind might be blown to the beach on the south side of Binwan Pier. , but being invaded by fish corpses for many years is really helpless.

The owner said that each gentian grouper that floated this time weighed at least 3 to 40 pounds, and some even had worms. The air was filled with stench, and tourists did not want to approach it. It is really a taboo in tourist areas. We can passively wait for the competent authorities to deal with it, and hope that there will be a cure.

The Dapeng Bay National Scenic Area Management Office said frankly that since there are many streams in the upper reaches of Dapeng Bay and there are many farmers nearby, it is difficult to identify the source, but upon receiving the news, it will immediately send Bay Area cleaning personnel to clear it, and also emphasizes that relevant management will be strengthened. .
