Volunteer streamkeepers are sampling a creek in Burnaby, B.C., after more than 1,000 fish were found dead. Paul Cipywnyk said the dead fish were reported to the Ministry of Environment on Thursday. Officials have not determined what killed the fish — mostly salmon and trout — but Cipywnyk said it appeared to be some sort of cleanser, likely poured down a storm drain. "It had a strong ammonia smell and it had that soapy, slimy feeling to it," he said. Cipywnyk said he estimates well over 1,000 fish in Byrne Creek were killed, perhaps as many as 2,000.
