Stress Hormones and their Regulation in a Captive Dolphin Population
Abstract
This research aids our understanding of how the stress-response operates in marine mammals by evaluating markers of stress in a captive dolphin population. This research effort will determine baseline levels of putative stress hormones and evaluate the functional consequences of increased stress in the bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) through the assessment of non-traditional biochemical markers.
