Lough Neagh: Anglers advised not to eat fish from Six Mile Water

While Mr Parkinson said he would “trust the science”, he added that members had wider interests beyond angling.

“People are very concerned about the general river environment, the water quality and the other issues that are impacting on life in a broader sense,” he said.

“So it is a broad interest, not just fishing or people just fishing for the sake of fishing or angling.

“And we like to think that when we angle it’s almost like a measurement of the damage or welfare, if you like, of the environment in general.

“We like to be on the safe side, that is for certain, and on the better side of science as well.”
