Using fecal glucocorticoids to access stress levels in captive river otters
Article Abstract:
The fecal glucocorticoid assays are used for evaluating the stress levels in otters and also for determining if stress levels decreased over time in captivity and if invasive techniques caused increased stress levels to otters. These assays are an effective method for evaluating stress levels of captive otters and also for evaluating the effects of both management practices and environmental conditions in the wild and in captivity.
