CHINA - China’s social media is abuzz with talk of dying fish being "brought back to life". The half-dead fish are returning to life after a white powdery chemical is added to their water.
After heated discussions online and rumors stating that consuming these fish could lead to cancer, CCTV journalist interviewed Li Xiaozheng, vice president from Guangxi Fisheries Science Research Institute, to find out the facts.
Li has verified the powder to be sodium peroxide. The chemical, after being dissolved in water, releases oxygen, which could have brought the ailing fish "back to life".
“It’s fine to use it to increase oxygen, however, if any industrial material were added during the production process, then it should be considered carefully,” Li said.
