Thailand’s minister of agriculture and cooperative, Thamanat Prompow, announced on Monday that he knew who was responsible for the blackfish fish that is now a problem in Thai waters, and that he would submit a review to the cupboard on Tuesday.

The research into the spread of the highly responsive and prey blackchin fish, which are indigenous to Africa, was revealed to Mr. Thamanat. &nbsp,

The agriculture minister said,” I have all the details, but I’d like the right organization to make the news.”

The ministry’s plans and strategies were well-defined to reduce the mysterious tuna population. According to Mr. Thamanat, no one had to become extremely concerned about the situation.

He thought the measures may be taken, and he thought they would work. Next month, he may assess how they were going about their application.

There were no blackchin fishes at gate doors, he said.

Techniques to control the population of blackchin tilapia&nbsp, had started before the matter made headlines, the minister said.

He added that the blackchin fish war was not related to the closure of some shrimp farms. Before the bass started to spread, they had been closed.

The government launched a full-fledged war against blackchin fishes next month. The government can promote fish consumption by purchasing it at an above-market rate as well as a means of limiting their spread.

On Monday night, Samut Sakhon county officers from the Central Investigation Bureau seized blackchin fish and set them up for meal to be served to Bangkok authorities.
