2,500 fish died in a Port Coquitlam salmon hatchery due to an unknown pollutant entering through a local creek, likely caused by low rain levels.
A Port Coquitlam salmon hatchery lost 2,500 fish after an unknown pollutant entered the facility through a local creek. The Hyde Creek Watershed Society, which oversees the hatchery, suspects that low rain levels led to toxins building up in the creek. The society's volunteers found the creek a strange blue colour two weeks ago and discovered dead fish in the hatchery troughs, which the creek feeds into.
