On Saturday the Radioagencia Nacional reported 23,000 turtles, sea birds and dolphins have been found dead during past two years along coast of Santa Catarina and Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Another 2,500 were rescued in poor health conditions and collected for treatment. The main causes of deaths have been the ingestion of garbage and accidents with fishing nets, varying according to species. The biggest victims are the green turtles, the little fox (small migratory seabird), the porpoises and the gray dolphins.
Also on Saturday South China Sea Network reported a massive die off of fish in a fish farm in Lingshui, China.
Experts blame hypoxia.
On Saturday Bangor Daily News reported dead gannets washing up on the shore of southern Maine and Massachusetts have raised suspicions that a toxic algal bloom could be to blame.
Scientists have said that warming ocean temperatures and pollution have contributed to harmful algal blooms that have been reported in recent years in Florida, on the West Coast and, to a lesser extent, in Maine.
On Thursday the Empoli Chronicle reported thousands of dead fish found in the river Elsa, Italy.

Last weekend about 50 tons of dead fish are removed from the reservoir in southern Ceará Mexico, reports CEARA
The removal of the animals was carried out by members of the local aquaculture association.
