The ability to identify stressed marine mammals is essential for understanding physiological consequences of disturbance. We simulated repeated stress in elephant seals by repeated administration of adrenocorticotropic hormone and examined their resulting endocrine responses. Altered aldosterone and thyroid hormone levels distinguished acute from repeated responses to adrenocorticotropic hormone administration in seals.
