1962-1977 Fishkills

Pesticides

Do not have a lot of information about historical fishkills.

During the period of 1978 - 1990, there were no reported fishkills on PEI.

2 Biology Professors from UPEI released a study on the recovery of a steam after a pesticide related fishkill in 1977.

Johnson, CE and JC Cheverie. 1980. Repopulation of a Coastal Stream by Brook Trout and
Rainbow Trout after Endosulfan Poisoning, The Progressive Fish Culturist, 42(2):107-110

I do recall hearing stories about the one and only fishkill on the West River in 1971. However, it was quite bad if I can recall. Also, there was a bad fishkill on the Morell River in 1967.

If anyone has any information about these historical fishkills, we would be interested in hearing from you.
