More than 100 tonnes of dead fish had collected in and around the port of Volos, in central Greece, following a mass die-off linked to extreme climate fluctuations, authorities said on Thursday.

The dead freshwater fish filled the bay, about 200 miles north of Athens, and nearby rivers after water levels were swollen by floods last year, followed by months of severe drought.
