Anaesthetics and Ecology of the Southern Elephant Sea at Macquarie Island and Heard Island

A variety of different chemical restraints, or anaesthetics, were trialed on Southern Elephant Seals at Heard Island and Macquarie Island. The trials were performed on female and juvenile seals, in their pre-moult stages.


Further information can be found in the papers listed in the reference section below.


The chemicals used in this study include:


doxapram

ketamine

xylazine

midazolam

pethidine

thiopentone

cyclohexamine based compounds

diazepam

tiletamine

zolazepam

4-aminopyridine

Sarmazenil

Yohimbine
