Do Not Mess With Fish 42!

and you thought fish were fun! well with 2 heads these ones could be twice the fun, chemical contamination from farm runoff has been blamed after millions of fish larvae in the Noosa River were found to have grown two heads,the disfigured larvae are thought to have been affected by one of two popular farm chemicals, either the insecticide endosulphan or the fungicide carbendazim, NSW fisheries scientist and aquaculture veterinarian Matt Landos yesterday called on the Federal Government to ban the chemicals and urgently find replacements, Dr Landos said about 90 per cent of larvae spawned at the Sunland Fish Hatchery from bass taken from the river were deformed and all died within 48 hours, hatchery owner Gwen Gilson blames chemicals used by macadamia farmers near her Boreen Point business for the deformities. "Some embryos split into two heads, some had two equal heads and a small tail and some had one big long head and a small tail coming out of the head," she said.
