Craig Goch Report No. 9 Mass mortalities of adult salmon (Salmo salar L.) in the R. Wye, 1976
The physical, biological and chemical conditions leading to a mass mortality of adult salmon (Salmo salar L.) in the lower reaches of the R. Wye are described. As a result of sunny and low flow conditions during late June, 1976, water temperatures increased to a maximum of 27.6oC and accelerated the...

As a result of sunny and low flow conditions during late June, 1976, water temperatures increased to a maximum of 27.6oC and accelerated the decay of substantial plant stands, the growth of which had been enhanced by the prevailing conditions: this resulted in severe de-oxygenation of the water.
