Next phase will not go ahead this year after opponent asks judge to put stop to project
A group trying to kill smallmouth bass in Miramichi Lake has agreed to stop more applications of a rotenone-bearing pesticide and pause the eradication project until next year.

This marks the second year the project has been delayed after opposition from Indigenous women and local cottage owners.
 

A consent order filed in Woodstock Court of King's Bench says the North Shore Micmac District Council has agreed not to apply any more Noxfish II, a pesticide containing rotenone, this year.
