The Northern Ireland Environment Agency have conducted a fish kill investigation at the popular angling location of Ballykeel Lough Erne, Co. Down, using an OSIL Small Field Buoy to assist monitoring.
Anglers reported a large number of dead fish floating on the surface of the water, and washed ashore around the angling stands of the fishery, which was also confirmed by the Department of Culture, Arts & Leisure (DCAL).
Inspectors from the Northern Ireland Environment Agency took water samples, and deployed an OSIL Small Field Buoy, with two Hydrolab sondes at different depths, to ascertain if the fish kill occurred following a dissolved oxygen mixing event in the 8m deep fly-fishing lake.
The Small Field Buoy was specifically selected for this application, due to restrictions imposed on the types of vessels allowed on the freshwater lake. The buoy is small at 0.6m in diameter and 1.2m in length, lightweight (just 25 kg), and easy to deploy by two people from a small craft, such as a rowing boat. The buoy’s single point mooring also assists in ease of deployment and recovery.
