Reg Lewis of Glamorgan Anglers sent me this very interesting email. Do we have anyone using this forum with any scientific knowledge of this subject?
Dear Graham
Our Head Bailiff noticed an increase in anglers surface fishing this season corresponding to higher than normal carp deaths. I e-mailed the makers of Chum Mixers and below is their reply. Is this a cause for concern?

Dear Mr Lewis
I apologise for the delay in replying to you. I wanted to ensure that I provide you with the best information.
The Pedigree Mixer foods are specifically designed for dogs, and are nutritionally balanced for the animal they are intended to feed. One of the main ingredients in our dog diets including the mixer biscuits is meat, and the food will therefore contain meat fats.
Mammalian fats, if saturated, can solidify in the intestines of cold water fish, and could cause fatty liver degeneration, so ideally should be avoided.
I hope that this helps you.
