S. Mayo: I have observed that phenomenon with whales but it may well be happening with other species. However, this type of observation is difficult to update and quantify. Audience: How about other species? S. Mayo: We have seen one example when there was a major mortality of humpback whales supposedly caused by mackerel [containing red tide toxin] and there was some human health concern since mackerel are fished. A. Solow: Thank you everyone for attending this evening.
