Animal health organisation Ospri is continuing to monitor the banks of Silver Stream, Otago, for 1080-contaminated possum carcasses following the weekend's deluge.
The organisation, which manages the TBfree programme, confirmed yesterday that no carcasses had been found in the area so far.
The Blueskin Bay area was also searched and none were found.
However, several deer carcasses and two dead pigs were found on the beach at Waianakarua, an Ospri spokesman confirmed.
''These carcasses were removed by Ospri contractors and during this activity it was noted that several animals had been shot by hunters,'' the spokesman said.
