Imarpe did not send a sample of the U.S. dolphin as announced

A one voice. The mass death of dolphins and pelicans in the country mobilized large numbers of people who came to the Ministry of Production.
 The mass death of dolphins and pelicans in the country mobilized large numbers of people who came to the Ministry of Production.
 What results? 3D seismic body ruled as cause of death of animals and said it would be by the Morbillivirus, "according to American laboratory." Activists demanded to protect our sea.
 The deaths of more than 3 000 dolphins on our northern coast , which has generated great concern in public opinion, still has no answer. Indeed, last but not least, the Instituto del Mar del Peru (IMARPE) recognized that the U.S. never sent samples of dead animals.
 "There has sent samples to a laboratory abroad and has never been formalized some cooperation with the United States," said biologist Imarpe Elisa Goya, before the Committee on Production, Micro and Small Enterprises and Cooperatives Congress.

 As recalled, the director of IMARPE, Raul Castillo, reported in early May that the Mammal Center in the U.S. had determined that the mass killing of dolphins was due to Morbillivirus .
 "The Peruvian laboratories found an immune depression (low defenses) that could be caused by a virus, so we ask that in the United States determine what type of infection was," he said then.
 NOT DETERMINE CAUSE
 Today, according to Elisa Goya, although laboratory testing of Paita, Lambayeque, San Marcos University Cayetano Heredia and still have not "exact cause" of death of dolphins.  She ruled that this fact is caused by activities related to oil exploitation.

 "Not found any indication that the deaths were due to a 3D seismic exploration," he said.  This despite the report of the NGO ORCA, which confirmed that this was the cause of death of more than 3 000 dolphins, after having analyzed the corpses stranded on the coasts.
 Goya explained that there were no dolphins or internal bleeding inside the ears. He also ruled that the cause of the marine disaster is the Morbillivirus.

 However, this has been challenged by the same dean of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science University Cayetano Heredia, Armando Hung Chaparro.
 "Studies have been done poorly organized," he said, after stating that it is best to do neurological tests on the spot, "which did not happen" because the rotting corpses were found stranded.  What is recommended for these tests, he said, was to make 10 minutes of dolphin deaths.  Meanwhile, their death remains unexplained.

More than 200 demand explanation for death of pelicans and dolphins

 About 200 people led by surfers Sofia Mulanovich and Javier Swayne held a peaceful march to the headquarters of the Ministry of Production .
They delivered a document with policies for the care of our sea.  "We do not look guilty, only help," said Swayne.Meanwhile, "Sofi" said that all "should care for the Peruvian sea and not to pollute."
 Also mourned the death of pelicans and dolphins, who asked why explaining the cause of these deaths. They also emphasized the need to promote the preservation of our marine biodiversity from schools.
 KEY
 While ORCA reports that are more than 3 000 dead dolphins, Imarpe says its accurate count is 877.
  Imarpe reported to be formed a special commission led by the Ministry of Environment to deal with events like the mass killing of dolphins and pelicans.
 "We are not prepared," said Elisa Goya on the death of birds. He added that due to lack of food. Meanwhile, in La Punta, fishermen found dozens of dead crabs.  'Another danger is coming? http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=es&u=http://www.larepublica.pe/16-05-2012/imarpe-no-envio-ni-una-muestra-de-delfines-eeuu-como-lo-anuncio&ei=GUm0T_upEvOasgKw8KynAQ&sa=X&oi=translate&ct=result&resnum=2&ved=0CGkQ7gEwATgU&prev=/search%3Fq%3DLos%2Bpel%25C3%25ADcanos%2Bmuertos%26start%3D20%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26tbo%3D1%26biw%3D959%26bih%3D575%26tbs%3Dqdr:d%26prmd%3Dimvns
