“…The concentrations of ALD were higher in IRL than in CHS dolphins. ALD plays a role in maintaining fluid balance in marine mammals, especially those that may not have an opportunity to acquire water through feeding (St. Aubin, 2001). Aldosterone concentrations increased significantly with time after encirclement in wild dolphins from Sarasota Bay, FL from single sample collections with an average time of 80 ± 60 min (St. Aubin et al, 1996).…”

Thyroid morphology and function are likely affected by the cyclic hormonal environment during different reproductive events in females. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the variation of thyroid morphology at different reproductive events (anestrus, estrus, lactation, and pregnancy) in a captive group of Indo‐Pacific bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) measured using sonography. Sonographic examinations of the thyroid gland and ovaries in nine sexually mature female subjects were performed weekly for 2.5 yr. A generalized linear mixed model was used to estimate the effects of the reproductive events for thyroid volume. Reproductive event was found to be a significant predictor for thyroid volume measurement and significant variation in thyroid volume was found between different reproductive events. A significantly larger thyroid volume in lactating females was observed when compared with estrous and anestrous females, possibly due to the high energy requirements and milk production during lactation. Taken together, thyroid volume variation during different reproductive events in female dolphins should be considered so as to obtain a diagnostically meaningful assessment when conducting routine examinations.

“…Before sampling, the animal is often localised, chased, captured and/or immobilised, chemically or physically. It has been shown that strenuous physical exercise, as well as the stress response itself, may alter serum chemistry parameters like cortisol, lactate dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase and creatine kinase in wild animals (Marco and Lavín 1999, St Aubin 2001). The stress is further maintained during physical restraint of the animal while the sampling is conducted.…”
