PREFACE 

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) provides for the cryogenic banking 

of marine mammal tissues in the National Marine Mammal Tissue Bank (NMMTB). The 

purpose of the NMMTB is to maintain quality controlled marine mammal tissues to permit 

retrospective analyses for determining environmental trands and for conducting analyses using 

new and innovative techniques. The NMMTB was formally established in 1992 by the Marine 

Mammal Health and Stranding Response Act (Public Law 102-587), which gives lead 

responsibility to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and designates 

the Department of the Interior (DOI) as a cooperator in establishing and managing the specimen 

bank. Through an agreement between NOAA and NIST, the NMMTB is maintained at NIST’s 

National Biomonitoring Specimen Bank (NBSB) in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and at the Marine 

Environmental Specimen Bank (Marine ESB), Hollings Marine Laboratory, in Charleston, South 

Carolina. 

Collecting and banking marine mammal tissues in the NMMTB at NIST’s NBSB and Marine 

ESB is conducted as a collaboration among NIST, NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service 

(NMFS), and the U.S. Geological Service Biological Resources Division (USGS/BRD) through 

two programs: the Alaska Marine Mammal Tissue Archival Project (AMMTAP) and the Marine 

Mammal Health and Stranding Response Program (MMHSRP). Detailed descriptions of these 

two programs have been published (Becker et al., 1988; 1993; 1994). Tissues are collected from 

freshly-dead stranded animals, incidental takes of animals in fishing activities, and animals taken 

by Native Americans for subsistence. Tissue samples are primarily obtained from stranding 

network personnel through government agencies, universities and private organizations that 

carry a permit to collect marine mammal tisues and have been trained by NIST personnel to 

collect and process tissues for the NMMTB. Animals and tissues selected for collection and 

archival must meet specific criteria before they can be collected. 

The goal of the NMMTB is to establish and maintain a resource of quality controlled marine 

mammal tissues for the following purposes: 

 1. Provide samples for future retrospective analyses as new analytes of interest emerge; 

 2. Provide samples for future analyses using improved analytical techniques; and 

 3. Provide a resource of samples that have been collected and stored in a systematic and 

well-documented manner for comparing results over time to identify whether 

environmental trends exist. 

A Specimen Access Policy was developed in order to maintain control over the release of 

NMMTB banked specimens. A NMMTB Tissue Request Form and research proposal must be 

submitted to the MMHSRP Program Manager, Office of Protected Resources, NMFS along with 

additional criteria. A copy of this access policy as well as the tissue request form can be found at 

http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/pr/health/tissue/. This volume represents the current inventory of all 

banked specimens and provides a record of data collected on each animal through December 31, 

2005.

A detailed inventory of tissue specimens collected for the NMMTB is presented on the following 

pages. The NMMTB inventory includes the following information: species, meristic information 

on the animals sampled, sampling location, additional samples taken by other researchers, and 

the location of these additional samples, as well as other miscellaneous information regarding the 

individual samples or animal sampled. Those specimens for which one subsample has been 

homogenized and divided into aliquots for analysis are also identified. The format used to 

present these data is shown in Table 1. A list of acronyms used in the inventory is presented in
