Monitoring Bottlenose Dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) Welfare During a Functional Neuroimaging Study

[EN] The development of non-invasive methods to study brain structure and function has enabled a flowering of cognitive neuroscience in humans and nonhuman species. Herein, we describe the development of protocols for functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) of a bottlenose dolphin ( Tursiops tr...

Herein, we describe the development of protocols for functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) of a bottlenose dolphin ( Tursiops truncatus), including protocols to monitor the health and welfare of the subject over the course of our five-year study. A Welfare Control Plan (WCP) was designed to monitor, enhance, and protect our subject's welfare throughout the course of the study. The WCP was developed so our team of marine mammal veterinarians, trainers, and researchers could (1) identify study procedures that might negatively impact the individual's welfare and propose measures to mitigate them, (2) define and implement protocols for monitoring the individual's welfare throughout the study, and (3) determine the study's temporary or final endpoints. Overall, behavioral, physiological, and health welfare indicators showed that the dolphin's quality of life was not negatively impacted by participating in our functional neuroimaging study. Our study provides an example of how innovative, ambitious, and logistically complex animal studies can successfully be performed while protecting the welfare of participating animals through adequate planning, enough human and economic resources, and full human/institutional commitment to animal welfare.We are deeply indebted to Oceanografic's dolphin training team and veterinary staff as these pro-fessionals maintain outstanding animal welfare standards while fulfilling research requirements. This project would not have been possible with-out their animal behavior expertise and the rela-tionships the trainers develop with the animals in their care. Another thank you is extended to members of the additional Oceanografic marine mammal training teams and animal care staff for their valuable assistance during scan sessions. Finally, we would like to extend a special thank you to the contributing animal welfare experts for their guidance in developing the study's WCP: Prof. Xavier Manteca Vilanova, Dr. Pol Llonch, Dr. Marta Amat, and Dr. Marina Salas (Antwerp Centre for Research and Conservation) .
