Gothenburg. Increasing numbers of dead seals have been found. The last six months it’s about ten times more than in a normal year.
Just in the last month the Natural History Museum received more than 100 new reports of dead seals, according to P4 Gothenburg. Then in March, 384 dead seals found.
Two of the seals that were found last summer wore on some form of bird flu virus, but if it is this virus that is responsible for the high säldödligheten is still not clear.
The National Veterinary Institute, which together with the Swedish Museum trying to find the background of the seal’s death, has so far not received a sufficient number of samples to determine the cause of death and now intends to test more seals, both living and dead.
