Eşit adalarynda guş dümewi betbagtçylygy: Ölüm derejesi 97 göterim

Awstraliýada geçirilen soňky gözlegler guş gribiniň Heard we Makdonalds adalarynda çynlakaý howp bolandygyny ýüze çykardy. In studies carried out between October 2025 and January 2026, it was determined that the H5N1 bird flu type seriously affected the animal population in this region.

Detailed Investigations and Findings

Scientists examined the situation of marine creatures living on the islands in detail by performing genome analyzes on images obtained with drones and samples taken from 9 animals. Guş dümewi haýwanlaryň alty görnüşinde, şol sanda şa we gentoo pingwinlerinde, pil möhürlerinde we Antarktidanyň sütükli möhürlerinde ýüze çykaryldy. It was understood that 13 thousand 359 of the 17 thousand 364 seal pups found especially on Heard Island died due to bird flu.

The High Mortality Rate Created a Shock

In the research conducted on Heard and McDonald Islands, it was determined that the mortality rate of seal pups in one region reached 97 percent. Bu alymlary we häkimiýetleri gorkuzdy. Researchers also reported that the penguin population also had a higher mortality rate than expected.

Spread of Bird Flu to the Islands

Experts assess that bird flu probably reached the islands in August 2025 and spread rapidly. Australian Environment Minister Murray Watt described the results of the research as "striking" and highlighted the negative impacts on the ecosystem.

Impacts on the Ecosystem

Heard and McDonald Islands are home to more than a million seabirds and seals. 2025-nji ýylda guş gribi sebäpli köp sanly güjükleriň ölmegi adalaryň ekosistemasy deňagramlylygy barada çynlakaý aladalary döredýär. Research conducted in January showed that especially southern elephant seal cubs and partly king and gentoo penguins were affected by bird flu.

Scientific Publications and Future Studies

The findings of the research were shared with the scientific world on the scientific platform called BioRxiv. Researchers state that more work needs to be done to protect the ecosystem of the islands and prevent similar disasters in the future.

In light of these developments, international cooperation is needed to monitor and control the effects of bird flu in the region. In particular, wildlife conservation projects and emergency response plans can contribute to preventing similar crises in the future.

As a result, this incident in Heard and McDonald Islands once again reveals how important sensitivity is to the protection of global wildlife and ecosystems.
