Skin biopsy as a nondestructive tool for the toxicological assessment of endangered populations of pinnipeds: Preliminary results on mixed function oxidase in Otaria flavescens

The aim of this study was to develop and validate a method for assessing the toxicological risk of endangered populations of pinnipeds based on a nondestructive biological tool, the skin biopsy specimen. Skin biopsies can be obtained from pinnipeds by anaesthetising the animals and taking a small am...
