Tengrinews.kz – During five days of monitoring the coast of the Caspian Sea, 289 carcasses of dead seals were found, according to Lada.kz
The monitoring was conducted by employees of the Zhaiyk-Caspian Interregional Basin Fisheries Inspectorate
together with representatives of the Institute of Hydrobiology and Ecology. According to the Inspectorate, monitoring of the coastal zone of the Caspian Sea continues.
"Inspection representatives, local authorities, specialists from the Institute of Hydrobiology and Ecology, and members of the Association of Fisheries and Aquaculture 'Qazaq balyk' were dispatched to the site. The cause of the seals' death will be determined after laboratory tests are completed," the department reported.
Researcher at the Institute of Hydrobiology and Ecology Zhazira Sydykova said that since the end of September, researchers have been in Mangistau and monitoring the marine coastal zone in the west of the Tupkaragan district. The scientists' task is to determine what kills the Caspian seal.
The expedition members inspect the coast daily (between Bautino and Fort-Shevchenko and further south), observe the sea area, and look for dead seals in the water.
"During the period from October 24 to 29, 289 carcasses of dead seals were found during monitoring of the Caspian Sea coast. Biological samples (fangs, claws, stomachs, internal organ tissue) were taken from the animals to determine their age and causes of death. We will be able to report what they died from only after conducting appropriate laboratory tests," said Zhazira Sydykova.
