For the second straight year Prince Edward Island’s Trout River has suffered yet another fish kill. This year’s fish kill can only be described as catastrophic.

So far over 1900 fish have been collected. Most of the dead fish are brook trout but 21 Atlantic salmon and a few hundred stickleback are among the dead. The largest brook trout recovered measured 50cm.
