Fish kill on Prince Edward Island worse than first thought

CHARLOTTETOWN, Prince Edward Island, July 29 (UPI) -- A Trout River fish kill in western Prince Edwards Island, Canada, is more severe than originally thought, provincial environmental officials said.

Officials said they don't yet know what caused last week's fish kill -- the third on the river in three years -- and were waiting until test results come back in a couple of weeks, CBC News reported.

The first dead fish began washing ashore Friday after a heavy morning rain. After finding 10 Friday, officials said they and others found 95 more.
