GoM Coastal and Estuarine Biopsy Surveys
Project
In Work
Small vessel surveys are conducted within estuarine and nearshore coastal waters to collect tissue biopsy samples from bottlenose dolphins. Visual surveys are conducted to find bottlenose dolphin groups, and then close approaches are made to collect tissue samples using specialized darts that are deployed using either air rifles or crossbow. Photographs are collected during the encounter to identify individuals and document the response to the sample collection. The skin and blubber samples collected support genetics, stable isotope, and contaminant analyses. These data have been used to delineate different stocks of bottlenose dolphins in estuaries of the Gulf of Mexico.
To use biopsy tissue samples to examine genetic relationships between populations of bottlenose dolphins.
Small boat based surveys for biopsy sample collection. Most recent efforts include focussed studies in estuaries along the Texas coast and western Mississippi sound. Data include survey effort, sample collection efforts, and subsampling of collected sa
