From Sea to Lab - studying the effects from pollutants and stress on marine mammals

Marine mammals are some of the most polluted animals on the planet. As these animals are at the top of the food chain, they can end up carrying 100x the harmful level of pollutants, This film explains the SLICE and the Marma-detox projects studying the effects from this and other stressors on the health and survival of these animals. https://akvaplan.no/no/prosjekt/slice

    From Sea to Lab- studying the effects from pollutants and stress on marine mammals

    Text by Audrey Youjia Su
    Large marine mammals are some of the most polluted animals on the planet. This is a result of a process known as biomagnification, where chemical pollutants get ingested by small marine organisms and build up in the fatty tissues of larger animals as they move up the food chain. Animals at the top of the chain, such as killer whales, can end up carrying over 100x the ha
