Anthropogenic Impacts in Stranded Cetaceans

We aim to apply virtopsy on the characterization and determination of human interaction related injuries and death in stranded cetacceans, and to provide supplementary information to aid conventional dissection. The world first multidisciplinary database model of stranded cetaceans investigation will be established for geometric comparison of patterned injuries due to human interaction, thus providing a sound scientific basis for policy and management decisions in the Hong Kong waters.
