18 June 2023 at 09:00 The stranded whale is dead The whale that stranded on the edge of the feather at Kvaløya on the night of Saturday has died. This is confirmed by the Directorate of Fisheries to news. – The whale died of itself at 6 o’clock, says communications manager Anette Aase in an SMS. Since nature took its course, their boat Fjorgyn, which was supposed to arrive at 12 noon on Sunday from Finnmark, turns around to assess whether the whale should be euthanized. The whale had been caught when it was discovered in the jetties. To iTromsø, veterinarian Kathrine Ryeng from the Institute of Marine Research says they cannot give an exact cause of death. But it will be done. – The animal had no obvious external injuries. We will take some tests on it today, before the Coast Guard has to tow the whale away, says Ryeng.
