SYDNEY — Residents in a remote Australian town are calling for authorities to act promptly and begin a clean-up, after hundreds of thousands of dead fish were found floating in the nearby Darling River. Low levels of oxygen in Australia’s second-longest river are to blame for the mass fish death late last week near the town of Menindee in New South Wales state, around 1,000 km west of the state capital Sydney, environmental authorities said.It follows fish deaths in the same area in 2018 and 2019 where up to a million fish died from poor water flow, poor water quality, and sudden temperature changes.
“Other than rainwater … we 100 percent rely on that river for our household domestic use,” Karen Page, a Menindee resident, told state broadcaster ABC.
