 TPWD FISH KILL SYNOPSIS
In stark contrast, the TPWD "Prism data" presented in the map displays discussed previously herein indicates that only five of approximately 2000 fish kill locations depicted were attributed to pollutants in the 1990 to 2000 calendar period and only one kill in over 1600 kills in the 1990 to 1995 period.
Correction of the causes of fish kills will be rare indeed as long as TPWD continues to conduct passive, non- aggressive investigations and fails to inform regulatory agencies and the public of the facts pertaining to significant fish kills.
The TPWD fish kill data collection and records are of little value if they are not used to put focus on and remedy the problems affecting fish, wildlife, and recreational values within our state water bodies.
