Vol. 308 No. 3

Written Answers. - Dangers to Fish Life.

481.

asked the Minister for Fisheries and Forestry if he has recently received a report concerning the possible dangers to fish life from acrylonitrile; and if such a report is under consideration by any agency of his Department.

I have not received any such report recently but there is an extensive international literature on the subject. My Department's scientific advisers are aware of the possible lethal and sub-lethal effects of acrylonitrile on fish life and the support life of fish.
