The Ministry of Fisheries and Aquaculture Development has begun investigations into the death of some large species of fish spotted at the Osu-Castle beach on Friday, April 2.
In a press release dated April 4, the Ministry revealed that a team from the Fish Health Unit has visited the scene after receiving reports on April 3, of some dead fishes found at the shore of the Osu-Castle Beach.
The statement also indicated that "seawater samples and fish samples have been collected to carry out examinations on the fish gills."
"Other historical examinations will be conducted to carry out any pathological cause," it added.
Reports reaching JoyNews indicated that over 60 dead dolphins together with other sea mammals have been sighted at the shore of Axim-Bewire and Keta in the past few days.
