“In a few days, 1,700 carcasses of Caspian seals were found on the coast of the Caspian Sea in Dagestan.
Judging by the appearance of the seals we found, they died about two weeks ago, ”RIA Novosti quotes him as saying.
Gapizov added that there were no signs of violent death of animals.
On December 3, about 700 dead seals were found on the coast of the Caspian Sea in the Kirovsky district of Makhachkala.
The Ministry of Natural Resources of Dagestan reported that the main reason for the mass death of seals on the coast of the Caspian Sea is most likely associated with natural factors.
