Workers haul dead milk fish, locally known as "bangus" from a fish cage on Taal Lake in Batangas province, 100 kilometers (62 miles) south of Manila, Philippines following a fish kill Wednesday, Jan. 22, 2014.

The government's Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources estimated around 120 metric tons of fish were found dead in cages, which they suspected was caused by the upsurge of sulfur content presumably from the active Taal volcano.
