Diseases killing life in oceans, scientists claim
Diseases killing life in oceans, scientists claim An article in the journal 'Science' reports the
findings of several scientists regarding epidemics which currently
plague sea life. The recent death and destruction of different
types of ocean species - ranging from fungus to Siberian seals -
appears to be evidence of new diseases which have developed and
spread through the oceans. The mass mortalities are attributed to
disease transmission among ocean species, human activity, canine
distemper virus (CDV), which is spread by dogs, and increasing
climate change. 3 SEPTEMBER 1999
