Caspian seal death toll reached 891
Astana. May 8. Kazakhstan Today - The total number of dead Caspian seals reached 891. The Emergency Ministry press service informed the agency.
"As of 17.00 p.m., May 7 total number of dead seals reached 891, including 692 seal calves," the Emergency Ministry explained.
121carcasses of dead seals were found at the coast of the Caspian Sea on March 30, in the area of Kalamkas dam near the Karazhanbas and Kalamkas deposits.
According to the preliminary data, mass death of the Caspian Sea seals occurred due to unfavorable weather conditions: increasing temperatures during the winter months have not allowed the major part of the Northeast Caspian Sea to cover with ice that could increase mortality rate of population of seals. As a result of the conducted analyses in the Scientific Research Institute for Biological Safety of the Ministry of Education and Science of Kazakhstan, the virus of plagues carnivorous has been found in the seals' carcasses.
