There is widespread concern and anger among carp farmers in the Euphrates River, especially in the province of Babil, south of Baghdad, after tens of thousands died in the past few days due to a disease still unknown.
"Some say it's a virus while others talk about a chemical," said a fish farm owner in Siddh al-Hindi province in Babil province.
Al-Husseini called for "the government to find a solution or analyze the water" to find out why the fish died, which became like floating wastes covering large areas.
Carp is a major food source and economic resource for a very large segment of Iraqis.
While the injuries were poisoned during the last period due to pollution of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.
In the province of Basra, southern Iraq, recorded during the past period more than 100 thousand cases of poisoning due to drinking contaminated water and salty source Shatt al-Arab, where the Tigris and Euphrates in the south of the country.
Fish farms have been damaged by the contamination of Basrah waters.
"90 percent of the fish have died," said Jafar Yassin, head of agriculture in Siddh al-Hindi.
"The Ministry of Agriculture and the local government in Babil province have mobilized with all their energy to control this situation, but to no avail, because the disease is unknown."
Yassin estimates the loss in the area, 80 km south of Baghdad, as "billions of dinars," equivalent to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
For his part, al-Husseini estimated the loss of $ 80,000 due to the deaths of 50,000 fish in his 28-basin ranch.
