Environment ministry analysing death of moray eels

Technical personnel from the environment, agriculture and fisheries ministry held an initial meeting on Wednesday to consider the cause of the deaths. Nothing official is yet being said, but the impression is that a disease specific to moray eels is the cause. It would not, therefore, be as the result of some form of contamination and a consequent loss of seawater quality.

There have as yet been no dead morays found on Majorcan beaches. In Ibiza, there is considerable discussion, with the concern being that there might have been some sea pollution.
