  3. System degradation - The Darling River

    "The suffocation of up to 30 million fish in western NSW has been described by a scientist as a "canary in the coal mine" for a sick river environment. NSW deputy chief scientist Darren Saunders said the fish deaths were symptomatic of a larger problem."

    "The fish are a canary in the coal mine"

    "What we found is there's a much broader degradation in the ecosystem in the Darling Baarka. But essentially the environment is sick, the fish are essentially an indicator."

  8. How did millions of fish die gasping in the Darling – after three years of rain?

    "Five years ago, it was because the river was almost dry. This time, it’s likely to be factors like the #heatwave days earlier, receding floodwaters, bacteria pulling oxygen from the water – and no escape"

    "The #DarlingRiver ... is very sick. Too much of its #water is siphoned off for #agriculture. Our native #fish are hardy. They’re used to extremes. But this is too much, even for them"
