Some fish processors in the Nzema East Municipality in the Western Region have resolved to process the dead melon-headed whales that were washed ashore recently, ignoring the warnings from experts about the public health implications should processed carcasses of the fish make their way onto the market. The warning from the experts followed the re-emergence of dead melon-headed whales in communities in Nzema East after officials of the Fisheries Commission and Environmental Protection Agency had seized and buried 25 of the dead melon-headed whales as well as carcasses that had already been chopped into pieces. The experts also released about 38 of the fish into the sea.
