Not a pretty sight

Thanks to Davie Reid for the picture.

As the picture shows we have had a major fish kill Last Sunday
Below is an article from Mondays Herald
Monday 29 July 2013
The Scottish Environmental Protection Agency is investigating the discovery of around 180 fish washed up at Glasgow Green.

The fish, believed to be salmon, were found along a 100-yard stretch of the Clyde upstream of the tidal weir in the park.

A spokesman for Sepa said its officers are investigating.

He said: "It is far too early to say why this has happened and it could be due to any number of reasons, from some sort of spill to the recent heavy rains."

The fish were spotted by George Parsonage, of the Glasgow Humane Society, which has its base on the Clyde in Glasgow Green.


The article in the paper has mentioned 180 fish but it could be a lot higher,who knows,but whatever the number, it is not good news for the Clyde as a hen fish can carry 400 to 700 eggs per pound body weight so a hen at 10lb can have up to 7000 eggs .We are reliably informed there were fish of 20lb and over.
Please guys if you are lucky to get a fish this season,think of the future and return it.
Thanks.
