Somerset and Wivenhoe Fish Stocking Association president Garry Fitzgerald was alerted to the fish kill on Tuesday. “I didn’t see a single live fish in there. Everything aquatic was dead,” he said. The mix of dead fish included Australian bass, mullet, eels, eel-tailed catfish, fork-tailed catfish, tilapia and possibly carp. Mr Fitzgerald said a chemical drum next to the river raised suspicion of a chemical spill into the waterway, which flows into the Bremer River.
