Association of Zoos and Aquariums 57 Otter (Lutrinae) Care Manual Consequently, a possibility exists that some animals moved between widely varying latitudes may be physiologically out of synchrony and would require at least one breeding season to adapt physiologically to their new environmental cues, which are important for signaling the start of breeding season. This should be factored in when making transfer recommendations, but should not limit transfer options when creating new breeding pairs. The North American River Otter Husbandry Notebook (Reed-Smith 2001) provides greater detail on the breeding strategy and reproductive physiology of this species, and the AZA Otter SSP reproductive advisor (Helen Bateman, C.R.E.W., Cincinnati Zoo) is involved in on-going research. In both NARO and ASCO, additional research is needed to improve endocrine monitoring of estrogen metabolites to further address these questions about ovarian cyclicity and ovulatory mechanisms.
