LIMA (Reuters) – the increase in temperature in the sea of the
North of Peru has discouraged banks from fish and caused the
mass death of seabirds by lack of food, situation
which could be extended to other areas of the country if they persist the
current conditions of the climate, said Wednesday the Government.
authorities related to the care of the environment and
health of Peru said in a press conference that
the warming of the Pacific has been the presence
from February of warm waters coming from Ecuador and
Australia, altering the ecosystem marino.
this generated the flight of species such as anchovy – food
Basic Pelicans – and the death by starvation of some 5,000
seabirds in recent weeks, reported.
next to the case of the pelicans in recent months
appeared dead on the North coast of the country at least 870
dolphins and their cause is still investigating, according to the authorities.
“recent warming of the sea is changing the
patterns of ecosystem”, said the Deputy Minister of resources
Human of the Ministry of the environment, Gabriel Quijandría.
“this has resulted in an alteration of the natural distribution
fish such as anchovy and other species that have migrated
into deeper waters and toward the South, what has
caused a decrease in the availability of food,
mainly of pelicans and boobies”, said.
weekend, the Government declared a health alert of your
coast and recommended that people not go to several beaches to the
along hundreds of miles of the country, while investigating the
cause of the deaths of hundreds of pelicans.
< p> A similar event occurred in 1997, when they appeared
many pelicans dead on the North coast of Peru before the
shortage of anchovy, due to the warming of the sea by the
climate phenomenon known as the child.
anchovy inhabits the coasts of
Peru and Chile by the abundant presence of nutrients. This
species is the key input for the production of flour of
fish, of which Peru is the largest producer in the world.
Quijandría however said that it is premature to speak of the
presence of the El Niño weather phenomenon, because the current
warming of the sea has not yet patterns defined.
but “If these conditions persist, it is likely that your
impact extends to other areas of our coast even
during the fall, which will make the figures can
< p""> increase and affect other marine species", said.
official said that after testing dead birds is has
ruled out the presence of virus of the “avian influenza
pathogenic” in those animals, risks to human health.
thereby Quijandría guaranteed fish consumption or
marine resources, which had decreased in recent days before
fear in the population that are contaminated.
against a possible impact of warming of the sea in the
key local fishing industry, experts said it is not expected
now consequences because the Seine boats made
their operations in waters deep and away from the coast.
“no effects in addition because this warming is
by registering to the North of Peru and the area south of fishing is
normal”, told Reuters the head of Economics and statistics of the
greater Angeln Geschäft Gilde auf dem Land, Jorge Vigil.
