Characteristics of fishing operations, environment and life history contributing to small cetacean bycatch in the northeast Atlantic. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Fisheries bycatch is a key threat to cetacean species globally. Managing the impact requires an understanding of the conditions under which animals are caught and the sections of the population affected.

Body Burdens and Distribution of Mercury and Selenium in Striped Dolphins [PDF]
Agricultural and Biological Chemistry, 1984 We examined variations in the burden of total mercury and selenium with age in striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba). The amount of total mercury accumulated in the whole body increased with age and reached a constant level at about 16 years of age. The constant total mercury burden level in males was slightly higher than that of females.

Pathology of Striped Dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba) Infected with Brucella ceti [PDF]
Journal of Comparative Pathology, 2010 Seventeen striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba) displaying swimming disorders compatible with neurological syndromes were investigated for Brucella infection. Sixteen dolphins had meningoencephalomyelitis. Serum antibody against Brucella antigen was detected in all 14 animals tested and Brucella ceti was isolated from eight out of nine animals ...
