I imagine the fishing would be pretty much alright, as the salinity of the water would gradually change as you went along the river, it's such a long river that it would likely allow for the fish on either main body of water to be more or less ok. I do think it would likely mess up some of the agriculture along the river, might lead to a bad crop season or two, not to mention the animals lost from deforestation.
