Thousands of fish die as pollution infests river
By Charles Clover, Environment Editor

A MAJOR pollution incident in which at least 150 tons of fish were said to
have died on the River Dun, a tributary of the Kennet, near Hungerford,
Berkshire, was being investigated by the Environment Agency last night.

Unknown pollution killed almost all the fish in a trout farm and is
reported to have affected the rivers Kennet and Dun and the Kennet and Avon
Canal.

The agency said that it was one of the largest fish kills from pollution in
the Thames Valley for many years. The alarm was given by William
Stephenson, the owner of the Berkshire Trout Farm, Lower Denford, at
midnight on Tuesday after he had discovered at least 1,000 dead trout. Mr
Stephenson said: "Lifting hundreds of dead fish from the water is just
dreadful. It breaks my heart. I wish we could find the culprit but the
Environment Agency still don't know who is responsible or what the cause is.

"The pollution seems to have made its way through the pens housing the
fish. The ones that are still alive will have to be  culled because they
are full of pollutant and couldn't be eaten. .
. . It will take me at least two years to recover from this."

Geoffrey Carhill, of the agency's Thames region, said: "This is one of the
worst cases of pollution in over a decade. Most of the pollution came down
the River Dun."

A rat is reported to have died after eating one of the polluted fish.

Whale [shark] causes nuclear shut-down

A PARTIAL shut-down of South Africa's nuclear power station at Koeberg,
near Cape Town, was ordered to enable the rescue of a 24-foot whale shark
which became stuck near one of the huge seawater inlet pipes. Christopher
