Fish From Tubli Bay - Dead or Alive - What's the Difference?

On a fair day, one can smell the bay.  Tubli Bay that is.

Frankly I wouldn't eat a live fish caught in Tubli's "fair" waters.

What's the old saw?  Give a man a poisoned fish and he gets sick.  Teach a man to harvest poisoned fish and ....

But to the meat of the article and "bidun ta'liq":

Public Commission for the Protection of Marine Resources, Environment and Wildlife fisheries and marine resources director Jassim Al Qaseer said he had not heard of any such complaint.  But he said dead fish in Tubli Bay was "normal" due to the chemicals in the water.

"There is no need to worry because when it comes to Tubli, seeing dead fish is a normal occurrence because of the chemicals in the water," he said.  "But selling the fish to people is dangerous because it can pose serious health risks and people can get ill.  "I doubt that these people are selling the fish to the general public - it would be most probably to their friends."
