EGIDO-VILLARREAL, Janitzio; CORIA-GALINDO, Elsa María  e  GALLO-REYNOSO, Juan Pablo. Modifications to the restriction method of Gentry and Casanas for otariid pups. Rev. Mex. Biodiv. [online]. 2007, vol.78, n.1, pp. 213-216. ISSN 1870-3453.

To avoid risky and expensive chemical immobilization of otariid pups, physical restriction is a better option. For this reason we constructed a stretcher that permits wide liberty to interact with the pup and take a variety of samples in a safe, comfortable and easy way, for both the pup and the researcher.
