Nearly two weeks after the first wave of dead fish appear on the Uruguayan coast , the fact is repeated. The difference is that this time also found dead several stripes River, also known as pooches. The National Aquatic Resources (Dinara) has not issued an official statement on this new case. According to El País , last Sunday appeared new species in the resort of La Floresta then, yesterday, on the beach Pocitos Montevideo. Along with new species, also appeared a new cyanobacterium, adding a greenish tint to the beaches. Asked by The Observer, the director of the Dinara, Daniel Gilardoni, declined to provide explanations and preferred to stick to the last official statement issued by the agency last Friday. On Tuesday, the National Party Senator Javier García made a request for information, through Parliament, the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries and the Ministry of Health on this subject. Among other things, Garcia requested answers to hypotheses about the causes of fish kills, and requested information on investigations carried out and on national and international agencies that have participated. It also inquired about the danger that the new cyanobacteria may represent for those who come in contact with it. The opposition there is concern about the health hazard that this topic may represent the population as it is not confirmed “if there is any impediment to the use of beaches and consumption of seafood,” according to the document. “We believe it is necessary to know the causes of a phenomenon of this kind, because if the causes are not the consequences and scope that can be known unknown” said Garcia told Efe agency. White senator emphasized the possibility that cyanobacteria have responsibility in the death of the fish, and told Efe that “cyanobacteria may be linked to fertilizer flow into the waters and we know what we know of this.”
