More than 43K aquatic creatures estimated to have been killed by derailment 
By Justin Dennis US Source: fox8 2/23/2023

The number of fish and other aquatic creatures killed after a train derailed Feb. 3 in East Palestine, dumping toxic chemicals into 7 1/2 miles of waterways around the crash site, is estimated to be more than 43,000, state officials announced Thursday.

The department’s initial sampling showed 3,500 dead aquatic species, mostly minnows and small fish, Ohio Department of Natural Resources Director Mary Mertz said Thursday. That was based on visual observation on Feb. 6 and Feb. 7.
 

Actual data collected from survey sites put the actual number lower, at just under 3,000 species. About 2,200 of those were minnows, and the rest were crayfish, amphibians and macroinvertebrates — and none of which were endangered or threatened, she said.
