Dear all,
The Spanish Cetacean Society (SEC) reports that 3
Ziphius cavirostris just stranded in the SE coast of Spain (in the Gulf of
Vera). Local police called the local stranding network of Almería PROMAR last
night (26-01-2006) at 19:00 informing about 2 beaked whales stranded in the
coast of Mojacar (more or less in the middle of the Gulf of Vera). The animals
were alive and died during the night. This morning a third animal was found
besides the port of Garrucha, already dead, only around 5 km far from the other
two. The group of Antonio Fernández of the Department of Pathology at the
University of Las Palmas de Gran Canarias was informed, and a team moved to
Almería this morning. They are exploring the animals at this moment.
When more information is available, it will be
communicated to the scientific community.
If you have any inquiries about the event, you
can contact the Spanish Cetacean Society ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). Any
inquiries about the pathological examinations, please contact Antonio
Fernández from the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
