Sea experts have abandoned hope to save more than 150 False killer wheel Officials said Wednesday that the Australian island of Tasmania was trapped on a remote coast.
According to the Department of Natural Resources and Environment, experts, including veterinarian near the Arthur River on the northwest coast of Tasmania, were present on Tuesday afternoon, where 157 whales were discovered on Tuesday afternoon.
The controller of the incident, Shalli Graham, said that the invasive sea and the weather situation, which prevented the whales from being rescued on Wednesday, were predicted for the day.
“We have come out in the water this morning and have tried to re -transfer the two whales but did not succeed because the situation in the sea was not allowing the animals to pass intermittently. Graham said in a statement.
The survivors will be happy, said marine biologists Chris Carlion.
“The longer these animals are trapped, the more they suffer. All alternative powers have failed, Carlevin said.
The department said that there were 136 survivors on Wednesday morning, but the diagnosis was changed to 90 within a few hours.
The lack of beach, sea conditions and the challenges of acquiring expert equipment in the remote area complicated the reaction.

The Liaison Department Officer Brendon Clark said that since 1974, the first part of the false killer whales in Tasmania was trapped. It was a pod of more than 160 whales that landed on a coast near Stanley on the northwest coast. Pilot wheels are usually trapped in tamania.
Clark declined to speculate on why the latest pod was stuck. The bodies of the dead whales will be inspected for the indicator, he said.
He said that on Tuesday afternoon, the restoration of a helicopter has decided that there is no other whale at a distance of 10 km (6 miles) of the trapped pod.
Some were trapped for 48 hours by early Wednesday.
River Arthur resident Jasilin Flint said his son had discovered the whales trapped around midnight during the fishing for the shark.
She said that she had gone to the scene in the dark hours in the morning and returned after dawn, but the whales were huge to reflect it.
“The water was growing up and they were throwing. Flint said Wednesday morning that they were just dying, they were drowned in the sand.” I think it's too late.
“There are young children. To one end, there are many big. It's regrettable, “he added.
In 2022, 230 pilot whales were trapped in the west coast of Macori Harbor.
The biggest mass stuck in Australian history took place in the same port in 2020 when 470 long pilots were trapped on the wheel sandbars. Most of the coasts died on both occasions.
The reasons for the beach are unclear. The reasons may include strong noise, illness, old age, injury, escape predators and severe weather.
