Does salinity make a difference-Kidney anatomy of Saimaa (Pusa saimensis) and Baltic ringed seals (Pusa hispida botnica). [PDF]
Abstract As habitat salinity markedly differs between the endangered, freshwater‐dwelling Saimaa ringed seal (Pusa saimensis Nordquist, 1899) and the brackish water‐inhabiting Baltic ringed seal (Pusa hispida botnica Gmelin, 1788), we investigated whether this difference has resulted in morphological changes to their kidneys.

Underwater noise impact of a ferry route on dive patterns of transiting Baltic ringed seals [PDF]
To understand the impact of underwater anthropogenic noise on marine life, it is crucial to collect more data about the onset of behavioural reactions of marine species. Three free-ranging ringed seals (Phoca hispida botnica) were marked with GPS tags to
