Residents in a regional Australian town have woken to find millions of dead fish in their river. The large-scale fish deaths were first reported on Friday morning last week in the New South Wales’ (NSW) town of Menindee. The state’s river authority said it was a result of an ongoing heatwave affecting the Darling-Baaka river.
