SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The National Marine Mammal Tissue
Bank (NMMTB) was established in 1992
and provides protocols, techniques, and
physical facilities for the long-term
storage of tissues from marine
mammals. Scientists can request tissues
from this repository for retrospective
analyses to determine environmental
trends of contaminants and other
substances of interest. The NMMTB
collects, processes, and stores tissues
from specific indicator species (e.g.,
Atlantic bottlenose dolphins, Atlantic
white sided dolphins, pilot whales,
harbor porpoise), animals from mass
strandings, animals that have been
obtained incidental to commercial
fisheries, animals taken for subsistence
purposes, biopsies, and animals from
unusual mortality events.
The purpose of this collection of
information is to enable NOAA to allow
the scientific community the
opportunity to request tissue specimen
samples from the NMMTB.
II. Method of Collection
Electronic and paper applications are
acceptable from participants, and
methods of submittal include Internet,
mail and facsimile transmission of
paper forms.
