Unraveling the mysterious deaths of whales and dolphins.

(Baonghean.vn) - In recent years, the world has witnessed mass and individual deaths of whales and dolphins. In Vietnam in general, and Nghe An in particular, this is not uncommon. Let's try to find an answer to this phenomenon.

Many explanations have been offered following the mysterious deaths of whales and dolphins.

Previously, it was believed that changes in seawater and poor health caused the mass death of these two fish species, but in reality, there are many other causes.

Navigation is an innate instinct for fish. However, whales and dolphins sometimes misorient themselves.

Hơn 60 con cá voi hoa tiêu đã chết trong vụ mắc cạn lớn tại một bãi biển hẻo lánh ở New Zealand vào tháng 11/2011. Cá voi hoa tiêu, dài tới 6m, là loài cá voi phổ biến nhất trong vùng biển New Zealand. Các vụ kẹt lớn liên quan tới loài cá này thường xảy ra khoảng 2 lần mỗi năm. Các nhà khoa học vẫn được giải thích được nguyên nhân khiến cá voi mắc cạn tập thể. Tuy nhiên, họ phỏng đoán rằng hiện tượng mắc cạn xảy ra khi khả năng định vị của chúng bị nhiễu trong vùng nước nông, hoặc khi một thành viên của đàn cá bị ốm lao vào bờ và những con khác đi theo.
Over 60 pilot whales died in a massive stranding on a remote New Zealand beach in November 2011. Large strandings involving this species typically occur about twice a year. Scientists have yet to explain the cause of mass strandings. However, they speculate that the stranding occurs when their navigational abilities are disrupted in shallow water.

Numerous studies indicate that naval exercises conducted by various countries and the use of high-frequency sonar have rendered dolphins and whales less accurate in their navigation abilities.

Furthermore, changes in water temperature or increased levels of ocean pollution are causing these two animal species to exhibit increasingly unusual behaviors.

Are mass suicides a mysterious message from the ocean?

Although many causes such as illness, injury, and mislocation have been suggested, many still believe this is related to the "curses" of the ocean.

On October 7, 2013, more than 20 long-finned pilot whales beached on Manon Beach in Galicia, Spain. Eleven of them died upon landing, and the rest died later, despite rescue efforts by police, environmentalists, and mammal researchers in Galicia. Whales are highly social and family-oriented animals. Some biologists have hypothesized that if a lead whale becomes ill and beached, the other whales in the group will follow and become stranded as well. (Photo: Daily Mail)

Even spiritualists believe that the mass deaths of dolphins and whales are the ocean's wrath, a threatening message to human life.

Do whales and dolphins suffer from depression?

If humans can suffer from depression, many believe that dolphins and whales could also suffer from this strange illness. This could be a plausible explanation for why such large and healthy animals are dying in mass numbers.

However, many people question why thousands of whales are affected by the disease simultaneously, and not just a few? Or are they all suffering from behavioral disorders?

Are aliens controlling dolphins and whales?

Finding an explanation for the deaths of these two species of fish will likely remain a long journey, as many scientists believe that extraterrestrial beings are using some kind of power to control whales and dolphins.

 New Zealand là một trong những nước có tỷ lệ cá voi bị mắc cạn cao nhất thế giới. Nước này thường xuyên phải chứng kiến cảnh từng đàn cá voi lớn bị mắc cạn tại các khu vực ven biển, chủ yếu là vào mùa Hè, khi cá voi từ các vùng biển Nam Cực di cư đến khu vực này. Theo thống kê của DOC, kể từ năm 1940 đến nay có tổng cộng hơn 5.000 cá heo và cá voi bị mắc cạn tại các bãi biển xung quanh New Zealand. Năm 2007, một đàn cá voi 101 con cũng bị mắc cạn tại bãi biển trên. ( Ảnh cá voi 4) Đàn cá voi bị mắc cạn tại bãi biển của New Zealand. (Ảnh: metro.co.uk)
New Zealand has one of the highest rates of whale strandings in the world. The country regularly witnesses large pods of whales stranded in coastal areas, mainly during the summer months, when whales migrate from the Antarctic to the region. Statistics show that since 1940, a total of over 5,000 dolphins and whales have been stranded on beaches around New Zealand. In 2007, a pod of 101 whales also stranded on the same beach.

Accordingly, they believe that aliens are using a special radio frequency to force dolphins and whales to act according to their will. And the mass death of the dolphins is a failed experiment by the aliens in controlling the whales.
