21 August 2019Continues the death of dolphins on the Italian coasts in particular in Tuscany: from the beginning of the year to the present they have been found dead 42. The last carcass of a dolphin type of the bottlenose dolphin in advanced state of decomposition has been sighted this morning in Bocca D'Arno, in the Marina di Pisa area. This was announced by Arpat.

Over half of the deaths were recorded from June to now.

According to experts, the cause has been identified in the measles of cetaceans after the autopsies carried out on the bodies of animals that have died without life. But scholars speculate that at the base of the spread of the virus there may be the presence in the Mediterranean of harmful substances that lower the immune defenses of cetaceans.
