A couple of biologists from the BC Environment Ministry patrolled Byrne Creek over the last two days, collecting fish from the major kill due to an unknown substance entering the creek through a storm drain.
They collected several hundred fish, and while they said they probably won't be able to determine what killed them, they will try to make the best of a terrible situation by using them to get a picture of life in an urban creek through species identification, measurements and ages.
