Gladstone fish kill spreads upriver




The Queensland Government is investigating the discovery of more dead fish in a Gladstone waterway.

The Department of Environment and Resource Management imposed a local fishing ban when sick fish were found in Gladstone Harbour in recent months.

Barramundi and other fish turned up with cloudy eyes and discolouration, and the ban forced a number of commercial fishing operators out of business.

Now local fisherman Chris Sipp says he has found 15 dead barramundi in the upper Boyne River in recent days.

"There was one there that had a very severe lesion and the other one definitely had the red infection disease with the pop eye," he said.

Editor's Note:   "Blah, blah, Blah" Says the Qld Government.    The first sentence reads, "The Queensland Government is investigating the discovery of more dead fish in a Gladstone waterway".   

The Qld Government must think that normal, everyday Australians are stupid and have no brains.  Everyone knows why the fish are turning up sick and dying. Could it be perhaps because the LNG companies are poisoning Gladstone Harbour??  Do you think??  Im not sure if you dont know Anna, but this is 2012 - the year that Queenslanders will stand and judge your actions over the past 3 years.  SQUAWK!!  SQUAWK!!
