Gas-bubble lesions in stranded cetaceans
Paul Jepson,Manuel Arbelo,Rob Deaville,I. A. P. Patterson,Pedro Castro,J.R. Baker,E. Degollada,H. M. Ross,Pedro Herráez,A. M. Pocknell,Francisco Rodríguez,F. E. Howie,A. Espinosa,R. J. Reid,José Raduan Jaber,Vidal Martín,Andrew A. Cunningham,Antonio Fernández +17 more
TL;DR: Evidence of acute and chronic tissue damage in stranded cetaceans that results from the formation in vivo of gas bubbles is presented, challenging the view that these mammals do not suffer decompression sickness.
Journal ArticleDOI
''Gas and Fat Embolic Syndrome'' Involving a Mass Stranding of Beaked Whales (Family Ziphiidae) Exposed to Anthropogenic Sonar Signals
Antonio Fernández,John F. Edwards,Francisco Rodríguez,A. Espinosa de los Monteros,Pedro Herráez,Pedro Castro,José Raduan Jaber,Vidal Martín,Manuel Arbelo +8 more
TL;DR: The present study demonstrates a new pathologic entity in cetaceans, apparently induced by exposure to mid-frequency sonar signals and particularly affects deep, long-duration, repetitive-diving species like BWs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pathology and causes of death of stranded cetaceans in the canary Islands (1999-2005)
Manuel Arbelo,Antonio Espinosa de los Monteros,Pedro Herráez,Marisa Andrada,Eva Sierra,Francisco Rodríguez,Paul Jepson,Antonio Fernández +7 more
TL;DR: Data show that a range of anthropogenic and natural single and mass mortality events occur in multiple cetacean species stranded in the Canary Islands.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decompression sickness ('the bends') in sea turtles.
Daniel García-Párraga,José Luis Crespo-Picazo,Y. Bernaldo de Quirós,V. Cervera,L. Martí-Bonmati,Josué Díaz-Delgado,Manuel Arbelo,Michael J. Moore,Paul Jepson,Antonio Fernández +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, a clinico-pathological condition consistent with decompression sickness (DCS) was found in 29 gas-embolized loggerhead sea turtles Caretta caretta from a sample of 67.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pathologic findings and causes of death of stranded cetaceans in the Canary Islands (2006-2012)
Josué Díaz-Delgado,Antonio Fernández,Eva Sierra,Simona Sacchini,Marisa Andrada,Ana Isabel Vela,O. Quesada-Canales,Y. Paz,Daniele Zucca,Kátia R. Groch,Manuel Arbelo +10 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that between 2006 and 2012, in the Canary Islands, direct human activity appeared responsible for 19% of cetaceans deaths, while natural pathologies accounted for 81%.
