摘要: Intramuscular nitrogen tensions in Tursiops truncatus after a schedule of repetitive ocean dives suggest lung collapse depth about 70 meters and that intramuscular circulation is maintained during unrestrained diving the open ocean. Therefore, bottle-nosed dolphin not protected by from decompression hazards to depths shallower than meters.
