    3RD CETACEAN NECROPSY WORKSHOP:


    SPECIAL ISSUE ON CETACEANS INNER EAR,

    INCLUDING BEAKED WHALES

    A cetacean necropsy workshop is organized by the Department of Veterinary Pathology


    (University of Liege), the Laboratory of Applied Bioacoustics LAB (Universitat Politècnica
    de Catalunya) and the Marine Mammal Research Center (University of La Rochelle). The
    session will be held in Liège (Belgium) on June 17 and 18, 2009.
    During the workshop, 20 porpoises will be extensively necropsied and sampled, based
    on a standard procedure (Proceedings of the first European Cetacean Society workshop on
    cetacean pathology: dissection techniques and tissue sampling. ECS Newsletter #17 special
    issue: 1991, 39 p. by Kuiken T. and Garcia Hartmann M.) adapted in previous European
    Cetacean Society necropsy workshops. An updated protocol will be available at the
    beginning of the 2-days workshop, more obviously for the dissection and collection of the
    inner ear. Following the ECS Istanbul meeting organized by Maria Morell (LAB), a special
    attention will be the extraction and fixation (injection) of the inner ear. In addition, an
    entire head of a Blainville’s beaked whale (Mesoplodon densirostris) will be fully
    necropsied. A morning session will be devoted to dissection, sampling and tissues banking
    procedures (Jauniaux T.), another one will be reserved for skull morphology, with
    naturalized skulls (Phocoenidae, Delphinidae and Ziphiidae), acoustics and inner ear
    extraction and fixation (Morell M., André M., Dabin W.); afternoons will be dedicated to
    necropsies. The number of attendees is limited to 20, in order to pair off participants under
    the supervision of a veterinary pathologist and specialists of the inner ear dissection.

    Participation :
    The workshop is open to scientists (post-graduate students and specialists) in biology,
    toxicology, veterinary medicine involved in marine mammal research, with a maximum of
    20 participants. Necropsy and sampling equipment will be available, but participants will
    have to provide rubber boots and adequate laboratory coats.
    Aims :
    The aim of the workshop is to improve the participants’proficiency in (1) dissection and
    sampling procedures on marine mammals mostly cetaceans, as well as their anatomy and
    pathology; (2) skull morphology, extraction and fixation of the cetacean inner ear.
    Participants are encouraged to collect samples for their own investigations following the
    Belgian Marine Mammals Biobank agreement (agreement available on request).
