PIONEER (Effects of underwater noise and chemical PollutIOn on heariNg abilitiEs of cEtaceans in the Arctic)
Principal Investigator: Morell Ybarz, Maria
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5876. The aim of this study is to identify and quantify the effects of noise on hearing in cetaceans in the Arctic. Ears of harvested belugas in Hendrickson Island will be used to determine if the individuals suffered a hearing impairment, and if it is compatible with noise exposure. (1) After the head and lower jaws ha...

Bioassay-based investigations on Arctic beluga blubber samples
Principal Investigator: Wania, Frank
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5471. The objectives of this research project are to: 1. Characterize the effects that chemical extracts from the traditional food samples have on a number of cellular processes. Their results can indicate the type of toxicity that those chemical extracts may cause. 2. Use the Arctic beluga as a "clean" reference in inves...
