PERU fishing with guts to report…
The phenomenon surprised the first time nearly a month ago in the same area beaches.
Speculations about what happens in this northern edge of the Atlantic coast are several, and scientists took samples for a study not yet have results.
A report of the Provincial Agency for Sustainable Development (OPDS) argues that the survey of beaches in this district shows that the dead fish are of the variety known as menhaden and both coasts of southern Brazil and Uruguay similar situations were detected. The Director of OPDS, Hugo Bilbao, reported that the first data oriented toward death “by asphyxiation due to lack of oxygen by the high water temperatures”. The presence of a warm current is notorious throughout the Atlantic coast for more than a week ago. In recent days, was a common comment of bathers, who receive exceptional conditions for beaches even in midsummer are characterized by cold water.
The Doctor in Biology Eddie Aristizabal, the National Institute for Fisheries Research and Development (INIDEP) confirmed the NATION that a team from the body relieved the situation in the Partido de la Costa. “It is provincial jurisdiction, but intervene to see if we can confirm why there is death Fish”, he explained. He anticipated that microbiological analysis, survey of species and environmental studies in pursuit of elements contributing to find the explanation will be made. There is still no report and estimated hasty guess.
The Saraca is a kind of no commercial value. That made assuming that the accumulation of thousands of these fish in the sea could be a consequence of discarding that can make fishermen operating in the Bay of Samborombón. Marine contributed own videos showing these deaths occur without any sets involved.
“The movements of the ships the monitor with satellite tools, and nothing indicates that there has been an effort Fishing Nearby to generate as much mortality Saraca“Said the provincial Director of Control of Fishing Activities of the Province, Daniel Sosa. Coinciding with the report OPDS, is oriented toward the hypothesis of water temperature and oxygen shortage. “Just over three weeks ago a similar phenomenon occurred with very similar environmental conditions”He recalled.
Studies by technical area that caters fisheries issues in the province confirmed that there was no presence of chemicals or other toxic elements that may trigger these cases, both current detected in early February.
Throughout the weekend, swimmers lived with tons of dead fish on the shore accumulated. With shovels the municipality opened graves and covered good amount of debris with the intention of clearing the coast. “Wells nearly six feet deep every 300 meters were made, but the sea is not to bring more and more”, Emery noted. The problem persists and explanations do not appear.
