A plan to kill off an invasive fish, along with all other fish species in New Brunswick's Miramichi Lake, can go ahead — for now.

Last week, Court of Queen's Bench Judge Terrence Morrison issued an emergency injunction temporarily barring a group from using rotenone, a pesticide and piscicide, on the lake with the intent of killing off invasive smallmouth bass.

That injunction expired at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, and a hearing in Woodstock Court of Queen's Bench that was supposed to include arguments for and against the project was cancelled at the last minute.

The hearing had been scheduled for 1 p.m. Wednesday, along with another hearing on an application by a second party seeking a similar injunction, which was also cancelled.

The group in charge of the rotenone project says it is now considering whether to take another run at Miramichi Lake.
