But but but...what about those that were not caught?...I suppose not any different to the rats and possums poisoned in the bush and washed down the streams to the sea, I guess something eats them.

The amount of 1080 that is potentially in the deer carcase is low- below the lethal dose for deer. Diluting it over a large area and many fish would mean that the rate would be negligible and well below a rate harmful to fish
