1. Mercury Concentration in Liver Tissues of South American Fur Seals (Arctocephalus australis) from Southwestern Atlantic Ocean
Mercury (Hg) contamination of oceans is rapidly increasing, however Hg bioaccumulation in pinnipeds has been understudied. Here, we report for the first time Hg concentration in liver tissues of South American fur seals (Arctocephalus australis) in South and Southeast Brazil. Hg concentration was determined in twenty-five fur seals’ specimens found strande

2. Stranded humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) (Cetacea: Balaenopteridae) in Paraná River Delta, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. Comments on the occurrence of marine mammals in the La Plata River Basin
Abstract The humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) is distributed among most oceans and seas of the globe (except Mediterranean Sea). These whales migrate from feeding regions in the Antarctic waters to breeding areas in tropical and subtropical seas. Here we report the stranding of a female young humpback whale, which was founded dead in the vicinity of t

3. Arcobacter butzleri and A. cryaerophilus in human, animals and food sources, in southern Chile
The isolation frequency of Arcobacter species in children with diarrhea, fowls, mammals and food of avian and marine origin was established. In all the samples it was possible to isolate Arcobacter species corresponding 201 (39.4%) to A. butzleri and 24 (4.7) to A. cryaerophilus. Both species were simultaneously isolated in 19 (3.7%) being A. butzleri the mo

4. Poluentes orgânicos persistentes (POPs) em toninhas, Pontoporia blainvillei (Mammalia: Cetacea), coletadas no complexo estuarino-lagunar de Cananéia-Iguape, Sudeste do Brasil / Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) in toninhas, Pontoporia Blainvillei (Mammalia:Cetacea), incidentally captured in the Cananéia-Iguape estuary complex
A região do complexo estuarino-lagunar de Cananéia-Iguape, situada no litoral sul do estado de São Paulo, é uma área de grande interesse científico. Entre um dos mamíferos marinhos existente nessa região está a Pontoporia blainvillei, a qual teve a sua gordura subcutânea (blubber) analisada para quantificação de POPs. Os valores de concentração

5. Epidemiologia e caracterização molecular do vírus da Influenza em quatro espécies de pinguins na Região Antártica. / Epidemiology and molecular characterization of the influenza virus in four penguin species of the antartic region.
Epidemics and pandemics of influenza usually refer to infections in human beings. The influenza virus is not, however, restricted to humans and can cause infirmity and death in other species including horses, swine, marine mammals, birds, and others. Ecological studies of viral infections have led to the hypothesis that the influenza viruses that attack mamm

6. Coordinated feeding tactics of the Guiana dolphin, Sotalia guianensis (Cetacea: Delphinidae), in Ilha Grande Bay, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Differences in distribution, prey species, season and social learning opportunities influence the feeding tactics used by marine mammals. Here, we analyze the coordinated feeding behavior of the Guiana dolphin, Sotalia guianensis (Van Bénéden, 1864, Delphinidae) and its relation to seasonality and the presence of calves. In a total of 201 feeding bouts, we

7. The sero-prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii in British marine mammals
Serum samples from 101 stranded or bycatch cetaceans from British waters were screened for Toxoplasma gondii-specific antibodies using the Sabin Feldman Dye Test. Relatively high seropositivity was recorded in short-beaked Delphinus delphis and this study presents the first documented case of Toxoplasma in a humpback whale Megaptera novaeangliae.

8. Mamíferos marinhos, a atividade de prospecção sísmica e o uso do Sistema de Monitoramento de Mamíferos Marinhos - SIMMAM
Since 1999, a large amount of data on marine mammals sightings has been collected by observers on board during the conduct of seismic surveys in the Brazilian coast. This is one of the mitigating measures adopted to minimize the potential impact that the activity carries on marine species. The information gathered up the necessary documents for the process o

9. Influence of artificial magnetic fields upon the behavior of the shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei (PENAEIDAE) and fish catch using fishtraps / InfluÃncia do campo magnÃtico artificial sobre o comportamento do camarÃo Litopenaeus Vannamei (PENAEIDAE) e a captura de peixes na pesca com covos
This work focuses on the behavior of marine organisms (fishes and shrimps) when submitted to artificial magnetic fields and on the use of this behavior as a mechanism to attract or to move away these organisms to/for specific areas. Although the geomagnetic field has existed in the planet a long time before of the beginning of the life rise little is known a

10. Comportamento do peixe-boi (Trichechus manatus manatus) nos oceanÃrios de ItamaracÃ: manejo e condiÃÃes abiÃticas
The aim of this study was to observe and describe the behavior of marine manatees, kept in captivity for rehabilitation and further release on their natural environment. To define the behavior pattern of these animals, their affiliate courtship activities and agonistic conducts were observed, verifying the presence of associations among group members, during

11. Conhecimento tradicional e etnoconservação de cetáceos em comunidades caiçaras do município de Cananéia, litoral sul de São Paulo / Tradicional Knowledge and etnoconservation of cetaceans in caiçaras communities of Cananéia city, São Paulo's south coast
Ao longo dos tempos, os cetáceos têm estado metaforicamente próximos à espécie humana o que tem revelado uma inter-relação ambígua, uma vez que podem evocar imagens de inteligência e mistério ao mesmo tempo em que servem como fonte de subsistência e de exploração econômica. Sem dúvida alguma, a relação positiva entre homens e cetáceos ating

12. Ocorrência de compostos organoclorados (pesticidas e PCBs) em mamíferos marinhos da costa de São Paulo (Brasil) e da Ilha Rei George (Antártica). / Occurrence of organochlorine compounds (pesticides and PCBs) in marine mammals from São Paulo coast (Brazil) and King George Island (Antarctica).
Organochlorine compounds cause strong impact on the nature, as a consequence of three basic characteristics: environmental persistence, bioaccumulation, and high toxicity. The marine mammals are one of the most vulnerable organisms to the chronic toxicity of these contaminants. Besides the high concentration in the body, the female transfers part of her load
