A cold storage company has pleaded guilty to discharging contaminants that killed up to 2,000 eels in a Christchurch creek.
Polarcold Stores Limited discharged ammonia which entered waterways in April.
The dead eels, and around 30 fish, were discovered along a four kilometre stretch of the Kaputone Creek in the suburb of Belfast.
The company faces a maximum fine of $600,000.
