DAPHNE, Ala. (AP) — Biologists say they aren't sure about the type of the sharks that have washed ashore at Montrose Beach in Baldwin County.
WALA-TV reports that more than 14 sharks washed ashore.
Biologist Chris Denson says the bodies are too badly decomposed to determine the type of shark.
Marcus Drymon, Fisheries Biologist with the Dauphin Island Sea Lab, says there was a report of sharks on shore last month, and they turned out be bull sharks.
Researchers say the cause of death remains a mystery, but they say salinity has a major effect on the fish, and anything from a pulse of fresh water or extremely dry weather can change the amount of salt in the water.
