Mike Joy: Calls for the Government to address nitrate toxicity in NZ's freshwater

A recent study shows three-quarters of the country's freshwater fish are under threat.
Victoria University of Wellington ecologist Mike Joy told Mike Yardley the nitrate toxicity level needs to be lower.
"We set the toxic level at 6.9 milligrams, which is kind of like having a drink driving limit at the level where alcohol would kill the driver."
