Prolonged chemical restraint of walrus (<i>Odobenus rosmarus</i>) with etorphine supplemented with medetomidine
Physiological studies involving the use of isotopic water required chemical restraint of free-ranging walruses (Odobenus rosmarus) for several hours. In August 2000, six male walrus (total body mass: 1050–1550 kg) were immobilized in East Greenland by remote delivery of 8.0–9.8 mg of etorphine and s...
