Increased Incidence of Entanglements and Ingested Marine Debris in Dutch Seals from 2010 to 2020

Oceans, 2022
In recent decades, the amount of marine debris has increased in our oceans. As wildlife interactions with debris increase, so does the number of entangled animals, impairing normal behavior and potentially affecting the survival of these individuals. The

STAPHYLOCOCCAL INFECTION AND TOXOPLASMOSIS IN A YOUNG HARBOR SEAL [PDF]

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1973
Generalized subcutaneous abscessation followed by acute systemic infection occurred in a young male harbor seal (Phoca vitulina richardii). Clinically, infection was manifested by malaise, progressive weight loss, labored respiration, intermittant vomitation, and mucohemorrhagic diarrhea. A coagulase-positive Staphylococcus aureus was isolated from the

Response of harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) to different types of acoustic harassment devices and subsequent piling during the construction of offshore wind farms

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Before piling of offshore wind farm foundations, acoustic harassment devices (AHDs) are used to drive harbor porpoises out of the area where they could suffer injuries.

Antibiotic Resistance of Bacteria in Two Marine Mammal Species, Harbor Seals and Harbor Porpoises, Living in an Urban Marine Ecosystem, the Salish Sea, Washington State, USA

Oceans, 2021
The pervasive use of antibiotics in human medicine, veterinary medicine, and agriculture can result in a significant increase in the spread and environmental persistence of antibiotic resistance in marine ecosystems. This study describes the presence and

Breaking down “harassment” to characterize trends in human interaction cases in Maine's pinnipeds

Conservation Science and Practice, 2021
Recent marine mammal recovery and growth of human populations in coastal areas has led to increased human harassment of protected pinniped populations. Yet, current monitoring approaches lack the necessary resolution to describe this emerging issue.

Experimental Study and Simulation on the Seal Pressure of a Ferrofluid Seal Using Radial-Charged Magnets

Frontiers in Materials, 2022
As one of the most mature applications of ferrofluid, the pole shoes of a ferrofluid seal are easily damaged under the situation of the large radial beating of the main shaft.

Hepatovirus infections in juvenile seals from the North Sea

npj Viruses
The discovery of several novel hepatovirus species in marine and terrestrial mammals has expanded the recognised members of the genus Hepatovirus and has provided better understanding on the evolutionary origins of human hepatovirus A (HAV).

Top‐down pressure on a coastal ecosystem by harbor seals

Ecosphere, 2019
Historic hunting has led to severe reductions of many marine mammal species across the globe. After hunting ceased, some populations have recovered to pre‐exploitation levels and may have regained their prominent position as top predator in marine ...

Seroprevalence of Antibodies against Seal Influenza A(H10N7) Virus in Harbor Seals and Gray Seals from the Netherlands.

PLoS ONE, 2015
In the spring and summer 2014, an outbreak of seal influenza A(H10N7) virus infection occurred among harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) off the coasts of Sweden and Denmark.

Harbor seal (Phoca vitulina) behavior in response to vessel disturbance at Yellow Island and Goose Island, WA, USA

, 2021
The Salish Sea is an area with high vessel traffic, which can potentially cause negative shifts in the energetic budgets of many marine mammal species. This includes harbor seals, which use haul out sites to rest and rear their pups, and have been shown ...
