SKIN BIOPSY SAMPLING OF BELUGA WHALE CARCASSES: ASSESSMENT OF BIOPSY DARTING FACTORS FOR MINIMAL WOUNDING AND EFFECTIVE SAMPLE RETRIEVAL
A bstract Different combinations of biopsy tip lengths (20, 25 mm) and diameters (5, 6, 7 mm), crossbow draw weights (23, 45, 68 kg) and distances (1.5–15 m) were tested on fresh beluga carcasses to determine factors affecting the success of biopsy retrieval and the extent of wounding. Tips with sma...
