Image Of the Day caption:
A dolphin provides Courtney Yanovitch a voluntary breath sample using a custom-made device that measures oxygen and CO2 levels and respiratory rate. WHOI biologist Michael Moore and MIT-WHOI graduate student Julie van der Hoop, comparative physiologist Andreas Fahlman of Texas A&M Univ., and Micah Brodsky of VMD Consulting are working with the trained dolphins at Dolphin Quest Oahu to test the effects of drag created by a data-logging device commonly used to track wild dolphin behavior. The dolphins in the study are trained to follow a remote controlled boat while wearing the non-invasive data logger. The breath samples the dolphins provide help quantify their energy exertion while wearing the data logger and without it.
