The first signs of a cleanup of the millions of dead fish that blanketed the Darling-Baaka River in far west New South Wales began on Thursday afternoon when two men in a tinny began netting the carcasses.
The mass fish kill, reported last Friday, saw millions of dead fish floating to the top of the river along a 70km stretch, centred on the town of Menindee, where locals - who are breathing in the smell of rotting fish - are angry and frustrated at river management and the delayed response by government officials to the crisis.
