Dead fish on a river bank in the NSW far west region of Menindee, filmed on 8 January 2019. Ongoing dry conditions and a recent drop in temperature could be the cause of a mass kill of fish in the Lower Darling region. Investigations are under way at the NSW Department of Primary Industries and WaterNSW. Golden perch, Murray cod and bony herring are among the native species affected in the Namoi River near Gunnedah, the Lachlan River at Wyangala Dam and the Darling River
