Co Antrim’s Three Mile Water has been afflicted by a second fish kill this summer — and a local angling group says it could take years to recover.
The Belfast Telegraph reports on the incident which was discovered on the river at Monkstown on Friday afternoon (27 August).
Trout, eels and even flounder that swim upstream from Belfast Lough are among the species affected in what the Three Mile Water Conservation and Angling Association has branded a “major fish kill”.
It comes less than three months after hundreds of trout were believed to have been killed on the same river in an incident the cause of which has not been identified.
