(NewsCore) - Eyeless shrimp, fish with oozing sores and other mutant creatures found in the Gulf of Mexico are raising concerns over lingering effects of the BP oil spill.

On April 20, 2010, an explosion aboard the BP-leased Deepwater Horizon rig killed 11 people and spewed an estimated 4.9 million barrels into the Gulf, in the worst offshore oil spill in US history.

Two years later, scientists and commercial fishers alike are finding shrimp, crab and fish that they believe have been deformed by the chemicals unleashed in the spill, according to an extensive report by Al Jazeera English.

It's Al Jazeera, certainly a much more reliable source than

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycyclic_aromatic_hydrocarbon Probably not the above substances rather the dispersant.

So let’s see all those who mocked the sources on another thread regarding this.

So when is Al Jazeera going to do an expose on the damage done to the ocean from the oil spill that Saddam released, that was MUCH WORSE than the gulf spill? And was done on purpose by Saddam?

It's still the same B.S. Al Jazeera report that is being referred to.

Not one news source that I read has done any investigation of their own and nowhere have I seen a reason stated why this can’t be true.

First they came for the eyeless shrimp.
Then they came for the poor pwned porpoises and the docile dolphins.
And yet we said nothing. Finally, they came for limbless Frenchmen.

These anomalies have always existed....caught a lot of 'em in the 1960's '70's, etc.

I sense an agenda here....

Fine. I’m in. this is al jism BS.

You can find the same aberrations anywhere in the world across all species.

The dispersants used in this clean up have long ago well, been dispersed and washed through the Gulf Stream through the Atlantic currents and around the world.....years ago...

In fact, it happened within one week of each instance, of dispersants used, leaving the ocean with negligible or no detection of any chemicals used .
