Contaminant assessment of stranded and deceased beaked whales (Ziphiidae) on the New South Wales coast of Australia

Marine Pollution Bulletin
Metal and organic pollutants are prominent marine contaminants that disperse widely throughout the environment. Some contaminants biomagnify, leaving long-lived apex predators such as cetaceans at risk of toxicity. Various tissues collected post-mortem from 16 Ziphiidae individuals that stranded on the New South Wales (NSW) coast, Australia, over ∼15 ...
