Mislabeling blamed in death of 400 fish at Texas State Aquarium

摘要

The Texas State Aquarium accidentally killed nearly 400 of its fish this week, with aquarium officials blaming the deaths on a mislabeled chemical container. Staff members thought they were pouring an anti-parasite drug into fish tanks, according to a statement posted on the aquarium's Facebook page. But preliminary lab results revealed that the container was actually filled with a poisonous chemical used in film processing, as a stabilizer in paint and motor fuels, and in cosmetics. The aquarium did not reveal the source of the mislabeled container.
