Excised lungs from 8 marine mammal species (harp [Pagophilus groenlandicus],
harbor [Phoca vitulina], and gray seal [Halichoerus grypus], Atlantic white-sided
[Lagenorhynchus acutus], common [Delphinus delphis] and Risso's dolphin [Grampus griseus],
long finned pilot whale [Globicephala melas], and harbor porpoise [Phocoena phocoena]) were
used to determine minimum air volume of the relaxed lung (MAV, n = 15) and the elastic
properties (pressure-volume curves, n = 24) of the respiratory system, and total lung capacity
(TLC). Our data indicate that mass-specific TLC (sTLC, l • kg-1) does not differ between species
or groups (odontocete vs. phocid) and agree with that estimated (TLCest) from body mass (Mb)
by: TLCest = 0.135 • Mb
0.92. Measured MAV was on average 7% of TLC, with a range from 0%
to 16%. The pressure-volume curves were similar among species on inflation but diverged
during deflation in phocids as compared with odontocetes. These differences provide a structural
basis for observed species differences in depth at which lungs collapse and gas exchange ceases.
