MASS FISH DIE-OFF: Hundreds Of Dead Fish Found In A Creek In Bargara, Australia?!

<div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: yellow;">November 05, 2013 - AUSTRALIA </span></b>- The flood gates have once again opened on the topic of fish kills in the regions waterways after hundreds of dead fish were removed from Moneys Creek at Bargara. <br /><br />Bundaberg Regional Council crews arrived at Moneys Creek early yesterday morning as part of a scheduled opening of the lagoon, which occurs once a month. <br /><br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oBcREaQbGFE/UnlMsJRIWJI/AAAAAAABNFU/lgFiRazFrnc/s1600/australiadeadfish.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oBcREaQbGFE/UnlMsJRIWJI/AAAAAAABNFU/lgFiRazFrnc/s1600/australiadeadfish.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">FISH KILL: A large portion of dead fish have been found in the Bargara area near Moneys Creek. <br />Photo: Zach Hogg / NewsMail Zach Hogg <b><br /></b></td></tr></tbody></table><br />Division 5 representative Greg Barnes said while on site, crews worked quickly to clear away between 500 and 600 dead fish from the backwater. <br /><br />"Humid weather conditions over the weekend, combined with a lack of rain and subsequent low oxygen levels in the water are believed to be the cause of death," he said. <br /><br />"Council is concerned that freshwater from upstream Moneys Creek isn't reaching the backwater with a small dam pumping the water to a nearby private property. <br /><br />"Crews will inspect the site again tomorrow morning (today) and council will continue to monitor the situation moving forward and has sought the advice of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)." <br /><br />Cr Barnes said the council had previously organised an unscheduled opening of the lagoon between October 16 and 18 after being alerted to the low water levels by nearby residents. <br /><br />"This gave the lagoon a reasonable flush and re-oxygenated the water," he said. <br /><br />"I received another request for an unscheduled lagoon opening on October 29, however, due to the high cost associated with opening and closing the lagoon, approximately $4000 each time, and its popularity as a recreational spot for swimmers on weekends, council decided to leave it until the next scheduled opening, which was this morning (yesterday)." <br /><br />The gates will remain open until Thursday morning with the next opening scheduled for Monday, December 2.  - <a href="http://www.news-mail.com.au/news/moneys-creek-fish-kill-referred-epa/2073447/"><span style="color: orange;"><b>News Mail</b></span></a>.<br /><br /><br /></div>
