Alkaline can destroy all manner of fish.
As a boy I used to spend many hours playing and fishing in a small brook that ran through our village. Doing the things boys do, building dams, catching bullheads and sticklebacks and when I discovered how, Trout.
I still have a love of brook trout, no doubt born from the boyhood days.
There was an old farm right at the end of the village, the place had been derelict for as long as I could remember. At the back of the farm ran the stream, which ran along side of a school and through the village and eventually converged with a river. The farm was developed in to a Pub come hotel (very well know carvery brand name). One day, the kitchen staff emptied a whole bottle of cooker cleaner in to the river. The next day the fish were dead. Trout by the hundreds washed up along banks. Very very sad. What I found to be really strange was that fish further up the brook had also been effected. I could only think that the fish had naturally moved up stream to get out of the contaminated areas. This was well over eighteen years ago and the brook has never recovered.

)), more a case of wondering whether they would have their own moral codes that would dictate how they acquired their animal protein. We are given to believe that many hunter-gatherers have a greater respect for their food animals than we do, and this might perhaps lead to some self-imposed restrictions on how such food animals are killed. It might be considered that an animal that has been hunted is a more 'respectable' kill than one caught in a snare.

What a Palava. Maybe fishing should be classed as a dagerous sport.
