More than 2,000 fish killed in river pollution

Thousands of fish have been killed in a pollution incident in County Tyrone.

The Loughs Agency said more than 2,000 dead fish had already been been collected from the Glenmornan river in the village of Artigarvan, near Strabane, but that figure was expected to rise.

The incident was detected on Friday when fishery officers found large numbers of dead fish during a routine habitat survey in the area.

“Over 2,000 dead fish have been collected so far, including Atlantic salmon, brown trout, European eel, lamprey, flounder, stickleback and Stoneloach,” the Loughs Agency said.
