A number of investigations are underway following a major fish kill on a tributary of the River Finn yesterday.
The incident is believed to have occurred following an accidental discharge to a stream at Crossroads, Killygordon. Hundreds of trout and baby salmon are understood to have been lost.
Young salmon had only recently returned to the stream, which is just over a kilometre from the Finn, following decades of pollution. The last contamination incident there was in October, 2013.
The Finn is considered to be one of the best wild salmon fishing rivers in Europe. It is not yet known if it has been affected by the latest incident.
Staff from the Loughs Agency, the cross-border organisation responsible for waterways in the area, remain at the scene surveying the damage.
We have asked the agency for a comment.
