Aug 29, 2022 · Here, we conducted the first investigation of tissue distribution, spatiotemporal trends, and potential risks of six organotin compounds (OTs) in Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins (n = 101) from the northern South China Sea during 2003–2021.

Apr 5, 2024 · Here, we investigated the exposure status and health risks of 74 organohalogen contaminants (OHCs) in Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin calves (Sousa chinensis) collected from the Pearl River Estuary (PRE), China, during 2005–2019.

The Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin is threatened by habitat loss, water pollution, coastal development, overfishing and an increase in marine traffic within its range. [12] [13] In 2015 the Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin was classed as "vulnerable" on the …

May 16, 2024 · Various high levels of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) have been detected in cetaceans from the South China Sea, such as the Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins in the Pearl River Estuary (PRE), suggesting potential health risks, while the impacts of endocrine disruptors on the dolphin population remain unclear.

Sep 20, 2022 · Here, we conducted the first investigation of tissue distribution, spatiotemporal trends, and potential risks of six organotin compounds (OTs) in Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins (n = 101) from the northern South China Sea during 2003-2021.

Humpback dolphins, particularly the Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin (Sousa chinensis), are a species of concern due to their vulnerability to various anthropogenic threats. These...

Aug 15, 2022 · With the dramatic increase in anthropogenic threats to the Pearl River Estuary (PRE), the population size of the Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins (Sousa chinensis) has significantly decreased over the past decade.

Mar 1, 2023 · The Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin (IPHD), inhabiting shallow waters below 20 meters along open coasts and bays in the Pacific and tropical coastal zones (Ross et al., 2010; Jefferson et al., 2017), is considered to be in danger because of the severe influences of climate change and human activities (Ross et al., 2010; Jutapruet et al., 2015; Fu ...

Apr 15, 2024 · Global ocean warming and extreme climate events pose a severe threat to marine biodiversity by inducing species redistribution and ecosystem reorganization. It is important to quantify the impacts of marine heatwaves (MHWs) on marine cetacean habitats to avoid rapid ecosystem shifts.

Organotins Remain a Serious Threat to the Indo-Pacific Humpback Dolphins in the Pearl River Estuary.
