At least 100 dead dolphins have been found on the coast of Somalia’s semi-autonomous Puntland region, according to the region’s fisheries minister, Abdirisak Abdulahi Hagaa, APA reports citing Reuters.
According to the minister, the cause of their deaths has not yet been identified. "So far, we know their death was not caused by wounds from nets because there were no wounds or cuts on them," the agency quoted him as saying.
He also said that toxic substances were unlikely to be the cause because fish in the area were not affected.
