Use of a tiletamine-zolazepam mixture to immobilise wild grey seals and southern elephant seals.
A mixture of tiletamine and zolazepam at a combined dose of 1 mg/kg was a reliable and safe agent for immobilising wild grey seals (Halichoerus grypus) and southern elephant seals (Mirouga leonina). The agent had a number of advantages over all the other agents used previously.
