The latest incident occurred in Palma -BichWhere the mobile mobile was discovered very disessive and demonstrating signs of injury. This species, also known as the giant Mediterranean Ray Manta, usually lives in the open sea and rarely approaches the shore, which makes each apparatus a clear sign that the subject is remote, and not directly under the waters surrounding the Iberian peninsula.
Alarming symptom
According to the teams of the organization of veterinarians and marine technologies, the animal demonstrated abnormal behavior, such as unstable movements and dysracy, as well as outsuris. Experts said that his simple return to the sea was not viable, as this risks Extension of his sufferingFinally, it was decided to dispose of the animal, the Consido that it was the most compassionate result, given the severity of its injuries and condition.
One of the great riddles for scientists is to determine why so many rays were found outside the natural habitat for such a short period of time. During environmental pollution, Climate change and changes in ocean currents They are factors that cannot be unloaded, the hypothesis of the witness of sea pathogens of attachment. Health and their orientation also receives the soil.
In the anionion, somic biologists have put forward theories related to the influence of human activity, such as fishing networks -germinat, heavy sea traffic or reducing ordinary sources of food before species that can make them look for dangerous or familiar areas.
Risks for biodiversity and marine health
The danger lies not only in the loss of individual samples, but also in the possession of local biodiversity. The fixed mantle rays can become vectors of diseases that are transmitted to other knitting needles if they are not properly treated. In fact, the sources consulted, warning that subtogens discovered before it could have a threat to a healthy sea fauna, aggravating an already vulnerable environmental scenario.
According to experts in the field of oceanography and marine biology, if this trend continues or even in the coming months, even cares ,, Spain may encounter the environmental effects of significant proportionsInfluencing not only the Ray population, but the entire food web in Mediterranean waters.
