Marine biologists can monitor the stress of cetaceans by collecting and analyzing the hormone cortisol contained in mucus that is produced from their blow-hole during exhalation. To collect mucus samples, a developed collection mechanism attached to an Uncrewed Aircraft System (UAS) will be deployed from land or watercraft, travel to a specimen of interest, collect a sample, and keep it intact while delivering the sample back to researchers. This approach is less invasive compared to existing methods that require the capture of wild cetaceans. Current UAS being used for this mission are usually quadcopters with Petri dishes fixed to their frame. To improve upon this design a fixed wing UAS is used for improved endurance, with a collection system capable of active sampling. The collection system uses an Electric Ducted fan to pull samples into a fine mesh as the aircraft passes through the blow field. Results from PIV Experiments and flight tests over a dolphin chuff simulator were used to validate the new system's capability for sample collection in the field, followed by field tests on live dolphins at Dolphin Quest Bermuda to determine the system's effectiveness.
