More than 2,300 fish were poisoned at the Hyde Creek Hatchery in Port Coquitlam at the end of last month, but a city-led investigation could not locate the source of the pollution.

“It’s likely that whatever caused the fish kill, passed through the system fairly quickly with the rains we experienced,” said Dave Kidd, manager of public works. “Unfortunately this also means that locating a source of contamination is extremely difficult.”

On April 25, the city received a report notifying staff of a large fish kill in one of the hatchery’s rearing pools, leading to environmental consultants being dispatched to test the water quality and look for additional dead fish in the creek.
