Murray-Darling fish die-offs mimicking NZ | Sky News AustraliaThe mass die-off of more than a million fish in the Murray-Darling Basin is ‘very similar’ to waterways across the Tasman Sea, according to a prominent New Zealand ecologist.\n\nMassey University's doctor Mike Joy blames agricultural intensification for the deaths of fish and other freshwater organisms across New Zealand.\n\nHe says algal blooms, which lead to a lack of oxygen and inevitably suffocate river-based life, are a result of too much water being drained and too many nutrients going in. \n\nThe Australian Greens has called for a royal commission into the management of the Murray-Darling water system.\n\n\n D_LittleproudMP Call on the police to deal with this threat to farmers.
