Estudio de las causas de varamiento y muerte de dos cetáceos en las Islas Canarias
Abstract
The Canary Islands shelter a great variety of different species of cetaceans, there being 28 species registered. Also, it is a place where cetacean strandings, both active and passive, take place frequently , by different causes. In this work we are going to expose two clinical cases about stranded cetaceans on the Canary coasts. The necropsy and histopathological analysis at the laboratory determined the causes of death of both animals. In the first case, an important stomach obstruction due to many carrier bags was observed and in the second case a primary tumor in the neuroectoderm was detected.Downloads
