Marine experts have hoped to rescue more than 150 false phrases of murderers who stayed on a remote beach in State of the island of Tasmania in AustraliaThe authorities said Wednesday.
Experts, including veterinarians, were on the scene near the Arthur River on the Northwest Coast of Tasmania, where 157 whales were discovered on a surf beach exhibited on Tuesday afternoon, the Department of Natural Resources and Environment said.
It is forecast that the conditions of the ocean and the unfavorable climate, which prevented the whales from being rescued on Wednesday, persist for days, said incident controller Shelley Graham.
“We have been in the water this morning and we have moved and tried to refloat two whales, but they were not successful since the ocean conditions did not allow animals to overcome rest. Animals are continuously restricted,” Graham said in a statement.
Marino Biologist Kris Carlyon said the survivors would be sacrificed.

“The longer these animals are stranded, the longer they will be suffering. All alternative options have not been successful,” said Carlyon.
The department said there were 136 survivors on Wednesday morning, but that evaluation was reviewed at 90 in a few hours.
The inaccessibility of the beach, the conditions and challenges of the ocean to achieve specialized equipment in the remote area complicate the answer.
Young whales weighed as little as 1,100 pounds, while adults weighed 3.3 tons. Despite its name, false murderous whales are one of the largest members of the Dolphin family.

The Liaison Officer of the Department, Brendon Clark, said that Stranding was the first of the false murderous whales in Tasmania since 1974. That was a sheath of more than 160 whales that landed on a beach near Stanley on the Northwest coast. The threads in Tasmania are generally pilot whales.
Clark refused to speculate why the last capsule could have varied. The bodies of dead whales would be examined in search of clues, he said.
A helicopter recognition on Tuesday afternoon determined that there were no other whales to less than 6 miles from the stranded capsule, he said.
Some could have been stranded for 48 hours for early Wednesday.
Arthur River resident, Jocelyn Flint, said her son had discovered the whales stranded around midnight while fishing sharks.

She said she had gone to the scene in the dark hours of the morning and returned after dawn, but the whales were too big to be refloted.
“The water was emerging and they were hitting. They are only dying, they have sunk into the sand,” Flint said on Wednesday morning. “I think it’s too late.
“There are small babies. At one end, there are many big. It’s sad,” he added.

The largest variety of masses in the history of Australia occurred in the same port in 2020 when 470 long -fins pilot whales stuck in the sand bars. Most straight whales died both times.
The reasons of the playings are not clear. The reasons could include the disorientation caused by strong noises, diseases, old age, injuries, predators fleeing and the severe climate.
