VANCOUVER — Fisheries Department officials say the bodies of three more grey whales were found in May along British Columbia’s coast, adding to the four others spotted in April.
The department says in an email that the three whales were found along Haida Gwaii’s coast, all reported separately on May 18, May 24 and May 31.
It says sample collection and post-mortem examination of dead whales are conducted with its partners “where possible.”
Four whales were found dead off Vancouver Island within 10 days in April, two of which the department said were in “extremely emaciated” condition.
