With support from the NOAA Prescott Program we undertake diagnostic necropsies of marine mammal mortalities found on the beaches of Cape Cod and bycaught in fishing gear. We are building an understanding of the various factors that contribute to these mortalities. Support from this program has enabled a Necropsy Manual that can be downloaded at: "https://darchive.mblwhoilibrary.org/handle/1912/1823/ A colleague, David Taylor has prepared an extensive collection of images of whale pelvic bones. They can be viewed at: http://www.whoi.edu/science/B/whalepelvics/ |
