Experts fear algal bloom to blame for disappearance of Whyalla's cuttlefish

Experts are concerned that a massive algal bloom might be responsible for the near-total disappearance of Whyalla's cuttlefish this season, as only a few dozen have been seen compared to the usual hundreds of thousands. This phenomenon has major implications for local fishermen and the broader fishing industry, as cuttlefish are a significant economic resource. The algal bloom could be affecting the food chain and habitat, hinting at larger environmental issues that might impact marine life in the region.
