Mass Death of Crustaceans
A marine biologist at the University of British Columbia, Chris Harley, told the CBC that he was amazed while walking along Vancouver s Kitsilano Beach towards the ending of last month, and was able to perceive the mass death and sight uncountable amounts of mussels split open with meat inside, indicating they just died recently.
The extremely hot temperatures in Vancouver and some bad timing with the tides appear to have merged to cause a very sad situation for the crustaceans in that region.
During the late June heatwave, when temperatures got to 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) in Vancouver, temperatures up to 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees F) was recorded at Harley s lab along the shoreline with the use of thermal imaging camera.
