There’s a big stink over a million rotting fish in Australian river. Even causing an Australian MP to vomit while shooting a video campaigning on polluted waterways.
Up to a million rotting fish need to be removed from Australia’s Darling River as the carcasses could trigger another wave of deaths.
The fish need to be collected “within a matter of days” according to environmental scientist Stuart Khan. If they remain in the water, bacteria that feat on the carcasses will proliferate and rob the water of oxygen, compounding the problem.
