Retrospective study of foreign body-associated pathology in stranded cetaceans, Canary Islands (2000–2015)

Environmental Pollution, 2018
Marine pollution, overrepresented by plastic, is a growing concern worldwide. However, there is little knowledge on occurrence and detrimental impacts of marine debris in cetaceans.

SUSTAINABLE ECOTOURISM ON ATLANTIC ISLANDS, WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO WHALE WATCHING, MARINE PROTECTED AREAS AND SANCTUARIES FOR CETACEANS

Biology and Environment-proceedings of The Royal Irish Academy, 2022
:Ecotourism in the Atlantic islands region is well-established and growing. Still, in the whale watching and marine tourism sector, many so-called ecotourism enterprises fail to achieve the minimum standards required to qualify as ecotourism.

The impact of marine debris on cetaceans with consideration of plastics generated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Environmental Pollution, 2022
The accumulation of human-derived debris in the oceans is a global concern and a serious threat to marine wildlife. There is a volume of evidence that points to deleterious effects of marine debris (MD) on cetaceans in terms of both entanglement and ...

CETACEANS IN IRISH WATERS: A REVIEW OF RECENT RESEARCH

Biology and Environment-proceedings of The Royal Irish Academy, 2022
:To date, 24 cetacean species have been recorded in Irish waters. These are protected by a range of legislation, including the Whale Fisheries Act, the Wildlife Act and the EU Habitats Directive, which oblige Ireland to maintain cetacean populations and ...

SUMMER DISTRIBUTION AND RELATIVE ABUNDANCE OF CETACEANS OFF THE WEST COAST OF IRELAND

Biology and Environment-proceedings of The Royal Irish Academy, 2022
:From May to September 2004 a survey of cetacean distribution and relative abundance was conducted on board a 'ship of opportunity'—a vessel used as a survey platform but not chartered for this purpose—off the west coast of Ireland.

Bronchoscopy of Cetaceans

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2002
Bronchoscopy is a standard diagnostic and therapeutic procedure in respiratory medicine and has been performed on many animal species. Cetaceans suffer considerable morbidity and mortality from lower respiratory tract infections, and it is very difficult to sample lower respiratory tract secretions for microbiology and other analyses.

Cetaceans and microplastics: First report of microplastic ingestion by a coastal delphinid, Sousa chinensis.

Science of the Total Environment, 2019
In the Anthropocene, marine microplastic debris has been rapidly increasing and interacting with wildlife. As apex predators, cetaceans have been proven to be ideal sentinel species to indicate ecosystem changes and umbrella and flagship species to help ...

Cetaceans

Science, 1989
Cetaceans display numerous anatomic and physiologic adaptations to life in a dense, three-dimensional medium. Their bodies have changed radically from those of their terrestrial ancestors, yet their behaviors and types of social organization are broadly similar to those of animals on land.

Recent increase of ulcerative lesions caused by Anisakis spp. in cetaceans from the north-east Atlantic.

Journal of Helminthology, 2020
Species of Anisakis typically infect the stomach of cetaceans worldwide, often causing ulcerative lesions that may compromise the host's health. These nematodes also cause anisakiasis or allergic reactions in humans.
