North Cornwall: Mystery of dead fish


Environmental investigators are still at odds to the cause of the death of thousands of fish in the River Fowey.
While poachers have been blamed for the loss of salmon and sea trout, experts are also warning that an agricultural chemical might well have been the cause.
The Environmental Agency is still investigating the incident that resulted in dead fish along a five mile stretch of the river from Golitho Falls to Trago Mills.
It is thought that as the River Fowey is a very clean river, the fish should recover soon.
