12982 Project Published / External 2704 HMSRP Hawaiian Monk Seal Health and Disease Metadata Portfolio Project In Work This data set contains all in house and clinical/research laboratory results for all Hawaiian monk seals sampled for epidemiological studies since 1997. Biomedical specimens are collected either for special health studies or opportunistically during other studies where monk seals require sedation (e.g., attachment of satellite telemetry instruments, critter cams). Results include serology, biochemistry, parasitology, virology, and toxicology from various laboratories. Original lab results and field data sheets are housed at the PIFSC Kewalo Research Facility Veterinary Laboratory. The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is the lead agency responsible for the recovery of the Hawaiian monk seal. The NMFS Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center, Protected Species Division, Hawaiian Monk Seal Research Program conducts ongoing health studies at the main breeding sites and in the Main Hawaiian Islands to provide information necessary to evaluate baseline health status and how disease may play a role in the recovery of the species. Biomedical data is collected from live animals either during special health studies or opportunistically with other special studies or during disentanglements and translocations.

These data are PRELIMINARY and have not be completely screened for accuracy. NOAA can not be held liable for use of these data in a manner other than for perusal of preliminary data. The developers of these data are concerned with assuring its proper use. Before data are used to draw specific scientific conclusions, potential users are requested to contact NMFS/PIFSC, Protected Species Division for background on the data. Acknowledgement of the data should be cited. Different versions of the dataset may exist. The user must be sure to use the appropriate data set for the time period of interest. While efforts have been made to ensure that these data are accurate and reliable, NOAA cannot assume liablility for any damages or misrepresentation caused by any inaccuracies in the data or as a result of changes to the data caused by system transfers. 6922 Project gov.noaa.nmfs.inport:12982 Lizabeth Kashinsky 2012-09-07T19:57:03 SysAdmin InPortAdmin 2025-12-03T01:00:28 2015-12-08 Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center PIFSC 1845 Wasp Blvd. Honolulu HI 96818 USA 808-725-5300 https://www.pifsc.noaa.gov 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. 1001 Public No 2015-12-08 1 Year 2016-12-08
