Large numbers of dead hairback herring Nematalosa erebi (Gunther) and hardyhead Craterocephalus eyresii (Steinachner) were found along the shores of Lake Eyre (Central Australia) in July 1975. The distribution and estimated abundance of dead fishes and the possible causes of the fish mortalities are discussed.
