Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
| The three small cetacean species of the Black Sea: common dolphin Delphinus delphis, bottlenose dolphin Tursiops truncatus and harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena were severely reduced by active (legal and illegal) killing. The level of their populations is very low, and all three species are considered as endangered in the Black Sea.
The aim of this Joint Research Project is to collect dead animals carcasses, both stranded and bycaught, and to study them as completely as possible, in order to determine the causes of mortality and the health status of the populations. The East European partners (Ukraine, partner no 2 and coordinator of the field work, Bulgaria, no 4 and Georgia, no 5) will care for systematic sampling along the coasts and, when possible, on the fishing grounds. Species, sex and age will be determined, as well as basic laboratory determinations 'histopathology, cytology, parasitology, bacteriology, mycology, microalogology; partner no 2). The West European partners are responsible for the ecotoxicology (Belgium, partner no 1 and general coordinator) and pathology (Germany , no 3). |
