Dear Colleagues, We are seeking collaborations to investigate Hg toxicokinetics in Southern Hemisphere humpback whales, with the goal of facilitating long-term, non-lethal, biomonitoring.
Specifically, we are seeking sample sharing from stranded, adult, humpback whales where necropsy has been performed and samples from multiple organs are available. Due to the rarity of i) adult strandings, and ii) timely access for necropsy, we are expanding our search via the MARMAM platform. If you are the curator of such samples and would be interested in joining this collaboration (which is anticipated to be performed as part of a research student project and result in joint publication), please do get in touch. All the best, Susan Professor Susan Bengtson Nash Southern Ocean Persistent Organic Pollutants Laboratory School of Environment and Science Griffith University, Nathan Campus. 170 Kessels Road, Nathan, QLD 4111, Australia.
