The dead fish were spotted on Saturday by a member of the public.
The exact number has been difficult to quantify as there are parts of the river in the area that are difficult to access.
The Manx Rivers Improvement Association were also contacted.
The Department of the Environment is currently investigating the cause of the pollution.
The Fisheries Department say they are up to speed with developments but are waiting the results of investigations.
