Many do survive. I think it depends on how long the exposure is and how healthy the fish was at the time. Again nothing to back that up though, just my thoughts.

I have found anywhere from a few weeks to 6 months seems to be the time frame for them to go. Could be anytime really though. It one of those things where you just never know. The cyanide often damages the liver, so I think it maybe depends on how long the liver takes to deteriorate.

So many variables though, so I don't think your going to get a solid answer to that one.
