Just to compound the misery of what's already happened on the Trent, it's now being reported that a survey conducted by the Environment Agency along 700 metres of the waterway has found 'almost no evidence of living fish'.
Further downstream, however, stocks appear to be 'mostly unaffected' by the pollution. Scant comfort in the wake of the devastation but perhaps when water in the polluted stretch returns to more normal levels, fish will make their way back there. This coupled with a possible re-stocking programme may in time see the stretch get back to it's former self, as long as the Environment Agency ensures nothing like this can happen again.
