Officials say the die-off likely occurred because fish need more oxygen in hot weather, but oxygen levels in the Darling River dropped after recent floods receded
Contractors are being hired to remove millions of rotting fish from a river in the Australian Outback after a unprecedented die-off following floods and hot weather, police said on Monday.
Police Assistant Commissioner Brett Greentree said keeping the town’s water supply pure was the main priority and removing the dead fish was the next most pressing issue. Trained contractors had been contacted about removing the fish with nets, but dates for the work haven’t been set. “I understand and acknowledge the smell and sights on the river – nobody wants to see that,” he added.
