Bottlenose Dolphins as Marine Ecosystem Sentinels: Developing a Health Monitoring System

TL;DR: A team of marine mammal veterinarians and biologists worked together to develop an objective, quantitative, replicable means of scoring the health of dolphins, based on comparison of 19 clinically diagnostic blood parameters to normal baseline values, which appears to roughly reflect dolphin health.

U.S. Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico marine mammal stock assessments--1999

TL;DR: The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), 166 Water St., Woods Hole, MA 02543 as discussed by the authors, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 75 Virginia Beach Dr., Miami, FL 33149
Journal ArticleDOI

Physical habitat of cetaceans along the continental slope in the northcentral and western gulf of mexico

TL;DR: Risso's dolphins and short-finned pilot whales occurred along the upper slope and, as a subgroup, were significantly different from striped dolphins, Mesoplodon spp.
Journal ArticleDOI

Geographic variation in polychorinated biphenyl and organochlorine pesticide concentrations in the blubber of bottlenose dolphins from the US Atlantic coast.

TL;DR: The measured PCB concentrations, although lower than those reported for stranded animals from the 1987/1988 epizootic along the United States mid-Atlantic coast, are sufficiently high to warrant concern for the health of dolphins from the sampled populations, particularly the animals near Charleston and Beaufort.
