Estimate raised on largest fish kill

December 27, 2001 By admin

State officials have upped their estimate of the number of fish killed by that ammonia spill December 14th in Kossuth County. Biologists now say nearly one-point-three million fish were killed along a 31 mile stretch of Lotts Creek and another 17 miles of the East Fork of the Des Moines River. The value of the fish killed: nearly 150-thousand dollars. It’s the largest fish kill since records have been kept in Iowa. The ammonia was spilled when a pipeline near Whittemore ruptured.
