Warning over more fish deaths as temperatures set to spike after thousands die in Salford Quays

The UK could see more fish deaths than ever before if temperatures continue to rise, according to experts, after the Met Office confirmed June was the hottest on record in UK history.

It's understood similar fish deaths have been reported on waters in other areas of Greater Manchester.

The Canal and River Trust has now revealed it has received reports of more than 60 'fish mortality incidents' on 21 different canals up and down the UK - and it's all down to the hot weather.
