Carefully positioning a dead white-sided dolphin on the stainless steel
table, WHOI biologist Michael Moore, one of the zoonosis study's
leads, and Colby Moore, a guest student visiting WHOI from the College
of the Atlantic, prepare to begin the necropsy. The dolphin, one of
eight that became stranded and brought to WHOI's necropsy facility, was
sampled to look for disease-causing microbes.
