A picture that will remain among those that will mark this year. We are talking about the sperm whale found stranded on December 27th in the Baia d’Argento of Leporano (Taranto), sunk after being wrapped in a net to minimize the dispersion of organic material.<\/p>\n
As communicated by the Jonian Dolphin Conservation association, “the size of the animal and the logistical difficulty linked to the complexity of the rocky coast made disposal impossible, leading to the decision to opt for a controlled sinking of the animal.” The sperm whale, about 12 meters long, was an adult female.<\/p>\n
According to the association, the laceration suffered by the animal is linked to an acute traumatic fracture resulting from impact with a large boat propeller. After several days of preparation, “the animal was sunk thanks to the intervention of the Multicat (a floating crane, ed.)<\/p>\n
of Ecotaras and a 2.5-ton ballast. The event is of great scientific relevance and regular monitoring will be crucial to understand the decomposition process of such an important animal, initiating important research actions,” add the experts.<\/p>\n
At the end of the operations, a farewell message was posted on Instagram: “We realize the immense heritage we have lost. Due to human carelessness in carrying out its activities, the sea is always subjected to new threats to which it cannot cope.<\/p>\n
This time, a sperm whale paid the price. Losing a female is a great loss, but we understood the gravity of the situation when we discovered that the mammary glands contained milk.<\/p>\n
A reference to the wife of Falanto, the historic founder of Taranto who arrived along the Taranto coast pushed by the sea. A name that comes from the past and will accompany this sperm whale forever.<\/p>\n

Una imagen que permanecer\u00e1 entre aquellas que marcar\u00e1n este a\u00f1o. Estamos hablando del cachalote encontrado varado el 27 de diciembre en la Baia d’Argento de Leporano (Taranto), hundido despu\u00e9s de ser envuelto en una red para minimizar la dispersi\u00f3n de material org\u00e1nico.<\/p>\n
Seg\u00fan lo comunicado por la asociaci\u00f3n Jonian Dolphin Conservation, “el tama\u00f1o del animal y la dificultad log\u00edstica relacionada con la complejidad de la costa rocosa hicieron imposible la disposici\u00f3n, lo que llev\u00f3 a la decisi\u00f3n de optar por un hundimiento controlado del animal”. El cachalote, de unos 12 metros de longitud, era una hembra adulta.<\/p>\n
Seg\u00fan la asociaci\u00f3n, la laceraci\u00f3n sufrida por el animal est\u00e1 vinculada a una fractura traum\u00e1tica aguda resultante del impacto con una gran h\u00e9lice de barco. Despu\u00e9s de varios d\u00edas de preparaci\u00f3n, “el animal fue hundido gracias a la intervenci\u00f3n del Multicat (una gr\u00faa flotante, ed.)<\/p>\n
de Ecotaras y un lastre de 2,5 toneladas. El evento es de gran relevancia cient\u00edfica y el monitoreo peri\u00f3dico ser\u00e1 crucial para comprender el proceso de descomposici\u00f3n de un animal tan importante, iniciando importantes acciones de investigaci\u00f3n,” agregan los expertos.<\/p>\n
Al final de las operaciones, se public\u00f3 un mensaje de despedida en Instagram: “Nos damos cuenta del inmenso patrimonio que hemos perdido. Debido a la negligencia humana en llevar a cabo sus actividades, el mar siempre est\u00e1 sujeto a nuevas amenazas a las que no puede hacer frente.<\/p>\n
Esta vez, un cachalote pag\u00f3 el precio. Perder a una hembra es una gran p\u00e9rdida, pero entendimos la gravedad de la situaci\u00f3n cuando descubrimos que las gl\u00e1ndulas mamarias conten\u00edan leche.<\/p>\n
Una referencia a la esposa de Falanto, el hist\u00f3rico fundador de Taranto que lleg\u00f3 a lo largo de la costa de Taranto empujado por el mar. Un nombre que viene del pasado y acompa\u00f1ar\u00e1 a este cachalote para siempre.<\/p>\n
