Large fish kill in a river in County Antrim, Northern Ireland
An investigation is under way after a number of fish were killed in a river in County Antrim.
It happened at Three Mile Water, near Mossley Mill, in Newtownabbey.
A local angling group said hundreds of trout and salmon were affected.
The Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) said the fish kill was being classed as “moderate. It is investigating the cause.
In a statement, the NIEA said it was alerted on Tuesday after receiving a water pollution report from Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council.
It said a water quality inspector “was able to quickly confirm the presence of a significant number of dead fish”.
“From his initial investigation, the river was noted to be running visibly clear with no signs or odours of untreated sewage or agricultural effluents which are often associated with impact on fisheries,” a spokesman said.
Water samples were taken away for testing to confirm if a chemical pollutant caused the fish kill.
Andrew Moore of Three Mile Water Conservation and Angling Association said what happened was a mystery at this stage.
“If you’re looking at the river, you wouldn’t realise that it’s polluted – apart from the dead fish, it’s completely clear and there’s no smell,” he said.
“That’s what has us baffled, and I understand it has the Environment Agency baffled too.”

Hundreds of dead walruses found on a beach near Point Lay in Alaska, USA
In Alaska, it has attracted attention that in the past week have found hundreds of dead walruses on a beach area in the northwestern part of Alaska.
The discovery of the many dead animals occurs in an area near Point Lay, where one in early September observed up to 35,000 walruses that had gone on shore.
The American environmental authorities stress that they do not believe the many dead walruses were shot by people. It is rather the result of a panikløb in attacks from polar bears or other stressors, writes CBS News.
Walruses, gathered in large flocks, panic and end up ramming each other to death. And it is far the US environmental authorities believe happened.
Indirectly, the background climate change with less sea ice, which has greatly changed walrus living conditions and means that it has become harder for the animals to find food on the sea floor.

Technical Environmental Company of the State of São Paulo (CETESB) analyze the water from the São Domingos and turbid rivers to discover the cause of death of hundreds of fish. Sunday (27), many fish were found dead in Turvo river stretch that passes through Guapiaçu. There were several species, especially mandis. Fishermen who went to the scene saw many fish dying on the surface and were outraged.
The first sample of water was taken from the river Santo Domingo, on Thursday (24), when the Cetesb received a complaint that the animals were dead. At the time, they made the technical analysis of the oxygen from the water and saw he was low, but still do not know the cause.
Technical Cetesb were driven back to collect water sample from the River Dim, but believe that these fish are the São Domingos and that, because of the rain, they descended to the Turvo. The Cetesb have not found the cause of the destruction.

Record heatwave strikes Sydney, Australia
While Sunday’s sweltering heat attracted tens of thousands to Sydney’s iconic Bondi Beach for a temporary retreat, many found themselves leaving the beach in the back of an ambulance from dangerous drug and alcohol consumption.
Ambulance NSW treated the 30,000 beach goers for drug and alcohol intoxication as well as chest pain and have urged the public to ‘stay safe’ for the remainder of the long weekend.
‘Alcohol intoxication presents an added workplace danger for our paramedics, often prompting physical, verbal assaults such as kicking, biting, spitting and verbal abuse’ NSW Ambulance Inspector Jordan Emery said in a statement.
NSW residents have been warned to stay out of the sun as much as possible, with temperatures forecast to reach 35 degrees in parts of the state on Monday and Tuesday.
Hundreds of beach-goers shared snaps on social media of their Bondi Beach experience on Sunday, many with a beer in hand.
However, Ambulance NSW shared their own shots, with one showing paramedics stretchering away a woman from the beach.
‘We tally our own score on #grandfinal day. Usually it’s a high number of people injured, or an increase in paramedics assaulted,’ they shared on their Facebook page.
‘If celebrating or commiserating tonight, be safe. Be respectful. Know your limits.’
This comes ahead of the NRL grand final with more than 82,000 expected to attend the sporting event at Sydney Olympic Park that will see the Cowboys and Broncos square off for the 2015 premiership.
‘As with all major events, alcohol is inevitably a major factor whether fans are celebrating or drowning their sorrows we’d urge them to do so responsibly,’ Inspector Emery said.
