Method step description:<\/p>

  1. Seal pathology using necropsy and histopathological findings of dead seals has been monitored in and around Swedish coasts since 2008.<\/li>
  2. This monitoring program is focused toward determining the health status of seal populations via autopsies of animals that are collected and sent to the Swedish Museum of Natural History. In addition, the program is also aimed for finding and measuring potentially harmful substances in biota.<\/li>
  3. Sampling provides information to describe the cause of death among seals.<\/li><\/ol>","OrigAbstract":null,"OrigDescr":null,"Comments":null,"ReleaseDate":"Jun 4 2024 12:00AM","ReleaseDate0":"2024-06-04","OrigDescrLang":null,"EmbargoDate":null,"OrigDescrLangNL":null,"OrigLangCode":null,"OrigLangCodeExtended":null,"OrigLangID":null,"DescrCompFlag":null,"DescrTransFlag":null,"Citation":"Swedish Museum of Natural History, Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management, Swedish Environmental Protection Agency and Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (2024).
