East Bay oyster die-off a mystery What's killing Pensacola's famed East Bay oysters? 11:00 PM, Oct. 29, 2011 Dale Rooks says his customers are "crying" for East Bay oysters. But the large, palm-sized oysters, renowned for their sweetness, are not showing up on his Marina Oyster Barn's menu as the seasonal dish customers expect this time of the year. "We're finding very few alive," said Pasco Gibson, a main supplier of the East Bay oysters. "This time of the year, we should be catching 500 to 1,000 pounds per boat a day. We're not even catching a hundred pounds." Oyster season opened on Oct. 1, and oystermen were expecting great hauls. Instead, they were alarmed when they dipped their long, wooden tongs with metal jaws into beds that had been teaming with large, juicy and healthy oysters at the end of last season, on June 30, and pulled up mostly dead ones. www.pnj.com/article/20111030/NEWS01/110300320/East-Bay-oyster-die-off-mystery

Sea turtle find in B.C. a first Last Updated: Nov 26, 2011 7:48 PM PT A species of sea turtle that historically has no place in the waters of British Columbia has been found near Tofino on the west coast of Vancouver Island. An olive ridley sea turtle washed up this week on Wickaninnish Beach in Pacific Rim National Park, far from the species' native waters along Mexico. The turtle, which was found by a park visitor on Wednesday, was injured. It was limp and had a large crack in its shell. Vancouver Aquarium staff quickly retrieved the animal and brought it to Vancouver for care, but it died the next morning. A necropsy revealed that the female turtle had died from blunt force trauma. It also had pieces of hard plastic in its stomach. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/story/2011/11/25/bc-new-turtle-found.html

[...] Specifics- Scores [multiples of twenty] of ring seals have washed up - On Alaska’s Arctic coastline - Since July Symptoms- Bleeding lesions on the hind flippers - Irritated skin around the nose and eyes - Patchy hair loss on the animals’ fur coats See also: Alaska registers highest radiation in US after Fukushima Report: NRC analysis indicated "elevated child thyroid" in Alaska, Pacific island...

Harp Seals On Thin Ice After 32 Years of Warming ScienceDaily (Jan. 4, 2012) — Warming in the North Atlantic over the last 32 years has significantly reduced winter sea ice cover in harp seal breeding grounds, resulting in sharply higher death rates among seal pups in recent years, according to a new Duke University-led study. "The kind of mortality we're seeing in eastern Canada is dramatic. Entire year-classes may be disappearing from the population in low ice years -- essentially all of the pups die," said David W. Johnston, research scientist at the Duke University Marine Lab. "It calls into question the resilience of the population." www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/01/120104174810.htm

Cape Cod dolphin beachings rise to 129; more expected 17 hours ago More strandings are expected after 129 dolphins beached themselves on Cape Cod in the last three weeks, with 92 dying in "the single largest stranding" of dolphins in the Northeast since at least 1999, the International Fund for Animal Welfare reported Monday. On Sunday, four dolphins were stranded along Cape Cod's hook-shaped peninsula and were quickly helped back to sea. The Massachusetts peninsula sees many dolphin strandings each year, but the 129 since Jan. 12 is typically about what rescuers see over an entire year, based on records that go back to 1999, IFAW marine mammal rescue manager Katie Moore told msnbc.com. usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/02/06/10331137-cape-cod-dolphin-beachings-rise-to-129-more-expected

Mystery Grows As More Livestock Dies In Maury County Posted: Feb 23, 2012 4:05 PM MST Updated: Feb 23, 2012 5:01 PM MST MAURY COUNTY, Tenn. -- Horses are dying and now cattle as well and detectives in Maury County have been at a loss to explain how or why it is happening. First, seven seemingly healthy horses turned up dead last week at a Hampshire farm in Maury County. The state performed a necropsy and released the results. "They ruled that it's undetermined. The cause of death cannot be determined at this time. It is a mystery. We don't know what happened," said Detective Terry Chandler with the Maury County Sheriff's Department. Now Detective Chandler is investigating more deaths: Two dead cows at a farm across from the one where the seven horses were found. And he's consulting with police looking into more mysterious horse deaths in Dickson and Giles county. www.newschannel5.com/story/17005844/mystery-grows-as-more-livestock-dies-in-maury-county

09/05/2011 13:10 CHINA Millions of dead fish in river water authority claims "is normal" In the Min River, the main river of Fujian, in the space of a few days tens of millions of fish have died. People block roads to protest against authorities indifference. Gutian County produces over 100 tons of fish a day, now its economy is destroyed. Beijing (AsiaNews / Agencies) - More than a thousand people blocked the main road in Gutian county, Fuzhou, the capital of Fujian to protest the death of millions of tons of fish in the river Min, caused by the discharge of chemical waste. On the night of Sept. 3, clashes broke out when the police intervened to disperse the protest. The Centre for Human Rights and Democracy reports however, that the roadblock continued at least until the morning of September 4. The fish die-off began on August 31 between the city of Huangtian and Shuikou and continued, culminating on September 2 when the Min River was covered in waves of dead fish (see photo). The Xinhua state news agency speaks of more than 8 thousand cases of dead fish in Shuikou and a further 1,000 in Huangtian, but China National Radio speaks of "tens of millions of dead fish", with serious damage to the economy of the area, home to many fish farms. Gutian County, about 100 km from Fuzhou, is renowned as the largest producer of carp and provides every day over 125 tons to fish markets. www.asianews.it/news-en/Millions-of-dead-fish-in-river-water-authority-claims-is-normal-22543.html
