Fibrous sclerosis syndrome in whale fins represents a pathological condition threatening marine mammal safety and affecting their movement structure, arising from the interaction of environmental factors and mechanical shocks with genetic factors to cause tissue changes represented by increased fibrous tissue and loss of flexibility. Effects appear in fin flexibility loss and difficulty swimming and maneuvering, alongside decreased fitness and rapid fatigue. Diagnosis relies on advanced histological examination, and case management on improving the aquatic environment and reducing pollution. Research and studies confirm that changing ecosystem conditions raise infection rates, requiring intensified field monitoring and supporting applied research to protect habitats according to United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) reports and marine biology and pathology journals.
