rmk828 slotDUMAGUETE CITY, Philippines — Another dead dolphin was recovered in Bais City, Negros Oriental following a mass stranding of the marine mammals in Sitio Pambutan, Barangay Canlargo over the weekend.
The dolphin was found late Sunday, several hours after two others were found dead at a mangrove area, according to Bais City Police chief Col. Roland Desiree Lavisto on Monday.
Lavisto said the authorities were no longer around at sundown when it was found by the residents. They buried it immediately, he added.
Citing an initial report from city veterinarian Dr. Melanie Pescadillas, it was believed that the dolphins were stressed after they were trapped in shallow waters in fish cages near the mangroves.
Three other dolphins in the same pod were treated for injuries but were immediately returned to the sea.
But oil prices fell as markets were unimpressed with a pledge by China’s finance minister to boost the world’s second-biggest economy.
Lavisto said no more sightings of dolphins in Barangay Canlargo were monitored on Monday.tiger go
