Marine Mammals (50 CFR part 216).

Cynthia Riseling (P607) requests

authority to sample up to 35 juvenile

California sea lions (Zalophus

californianus) annually for three years.

Animals sampled will be from stranded

rehabilitated stocks at marine mammal

stranding centers in California. Three

cultures will be taken from the skin,

throat, and vaginal/urethral area to

study the normal bacteria flora of this

animal. If fecal samples are available,

they will be collected. The question the

applicant seeks to answer is are normal

bacterial flora of these animals causing

disease in humans?

David R. Young (P614) requests

authority to import from Russia blubber,

liver, muscle and composited seal

blubber oil taken from Baikal seals

(Phoca sibirica). Samples will be taken

from eight carcasses which were either

beached, stranded, or hunted under

Russia’s legal culling system from areas

of Lake Baikal. The researchers seek to

establish the level of toxic contaminants

[PCBs; DDTs; PAHs; Organic Mercury;

Trace Metals] in indicator tissues of the

Baikal seal, and also components of the

animal’s food web.

Date: July 1, 1996.
