Papers arising out of a field programme to examine catches of long-finned pilot whales (Globicephal melas) taken in the North Atlantic in the Faroese fishery. The papers discuss characteristics such as age and growth parameters, genetic studies and social organisation, reporductive biology, feeding and energetics, pollution and parasitology.

The long-finned pilot whale, Globicephala melas, is a widely distributed pelagic species found in cold temperate waters of the North Atlantic and southern hemisphere. This report reviews the conservation status of this species. It includes information on the whale's geographic distribution, population size and trends, protection status, habitat, general biology, species movement and behaviour, factors limiting the whale population size and distribution, and the special significance of the species for Canada. Concludes with discussion of the current consensus regarding the status of the species.

Taking an integrated approach to the biology of marine carnivores, cetaceans, and sirenians, twenty-two prominent researchers compare marine mammals with one another and with terrestrial mammals, providing a framework for fundamental biological and ecological concepts. They describe functional morphology, sensory systems, energetics, reproduction, communication and cognition, behavior, distribution, population biology, and feeding ecology. They also detail the physiological adaptations—for such activities and processes as diving, thermo-regulation, osmoregulation, and orientation—that enable marine mammals to exploit their aquatic environment.

"This manuscript provides a brief description of the two species of pilot whales (long-finned pilot whales, Globicephala melas (previously known as G. melaena), and the short-finned pilot whale (G. macrorhynchus), found in the North Atlantic Ocean . It then lists scientific publications relating to the biology, behavior, conservation and management, most of which were published from 1939 to present. This document focuses primarily on published literature on the distribution and abundance of the two species throughout the North Atlantic Ocean. Literature on long-finned pilot whales and short-finned pilot whales from other geographic regions is also included, as readers may gain insight into the research methodologies and findings of other stocks and populations of these two species. Unpublished articles or popular books are generally excluded, unless these contain important information not available elsewhere"--Abstract.

This comprehensive review includes much recent research material and is the only book exclusively devoted to the minke whale species.The scope of this book focuses on three main topics. The first emphasis is on the population biology of the minke whale. Then, it documents the historical and current exploitation by man. Finally, it evaluates the current size, status, and management of the many worldwide stocks of minke whales. It also includes a description of the birth and death processes that determine how and why the minke whale population varies from time to time. This is an excellent source for specialists in the fields of cetacean biology, population biology, and management of natural resources. Presented in an interesting manner, this work is also appreciated by students and technically interested lay-readers.

This book summarizes and analyzes the biology, ecology, exploitation and management of small cetaceans in Japan. It describes the various types of cetacean fisheries in Japan and their historical development, the life histories and ecologies of the main species involved, and the history and problems of conservation and management. The data show that in some cases the number of small cetaceans harvested exceed sustainable limits and have led to depletion of populations. The book provides a case study of what can go wrong when the needs of industry and conservation collide. The descriptions of life history and ecology are relevant to issues of conservation and management, not just for cetaceans, but for all fisheries around the world.

With coverage on all the marine mammals of the world, authors Jefferson, Webber, and Pitman have created a user-friendly guide to identify marine mammals alive in nature (at sea or on the beach), dead specimens “in hand , and also to identify marine mammals based on features of the skull. This handy guide provides marine biologists and interested lay people with detailed descriptions of diagnostic features, illustrations of external appearance, beautiful photographs, dichotomous keys, and more. Full color illustrations and vivid photographs of every living marine mammal species are incorporated, as well as comprehendible maps showing a range of information. For readers who desire further consultation, authors have included a list of literature references at the end of each species account. For an enhanced understanding of habitation, this guide also includes recognizable geographic forms described separately with colorful paintings and photographs. All of these essential tools provided make Marine Mammals of the World the most detailed and authoritative guide available! * Contains superb photographs of every species of marine mammal for accurate identification * Authors’ collective experience adds up to 80 years, and have seen nearly all of the species and distinctive geographic forms described in the guide * Provides the most detailed and anatomically accurate illustrations currently available * Special emphasis is placed on the identification of species in “problem groups, such as the beaked whales, long-beaked oceanic dolphin, and southern fur seals * Includes a detailed list of sources for more information at the back of the book.
