Marine biologists said about the mass deaths of dolphins off the coast of France
As writes Reuters, the vast majority of mammals, which are found on the shore, killed in fishing nets: the dolphins found multiple fractures of tails, fins, and deep cuts, characteristic of the contact network.
Perry noted that in the last three years, scientists recorded the approximately 1 thousand individuals during the winter months. The actual number of dead animals, he said, may be 5-10 times greater.
Scientists believe that the increase of death of dolphins caused by changes in the methods of fishing in the Atlantic waters off Western Europe.
