Our knowledge of marine mammals offshore of the continental shelf break in the Mid- and South Atlantic is very poor 2. Some vulnerable species, such as right whales, are already at risk as a result of human activities, including fishing and shipping 3. We should not assume that the pelagic realm is one enormous, continuous habitat 4. Some particularly sensitive areas, such as The Point off Cape Hatteras, deserve a special degree of protection Offshore Drilling Forum New Bern, NC July 31st 2015 Thank You….

To fill some of these gaps, this article provides important cetacean records obtained in the winter of 2010 during a dedicated expedition to collect visual and acoustic information in the Vitória-Trindade seamounts. We observed 19 groups of cetaceans along a 1300-km search trajectory, with six species being identified: the humpback whale Megaptera( novaeangliae, N = 9 groups), the fin whale (Balaenoptera physalus, N = 1), the Antarctic minke whale (Balaenoptera bonaerensis, N = 1), the rough-toothed dolphin (Steno bredanensis, N = 1), the bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus, N = 2), and the killer whale (Orcinus orca, N = 1). Most humpback whale groups (N = 7; 78%) were observed in the Vitória-Trindade seamounts, especially the mounts close to the Abrolhos Bank.

  • FC Inshore Cetacean Species Identification
    Falklands Conservation PO BOX 26, Falkland Islands, FIQQ 1ZZ +500 22247 [email protected] www.falklandsconservation.com FC Inshore Cetacean Species Identification Introduction This guide outlines the key features that can be used to distinguish between the six most common cetacean species that inhabit Falklands' waters. A number of additional cetacean species may occasionally be seen in coastal waters, for example the fin whale (Balaenoptera physalus), the humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae), the long-finned pilot whale (Globicephala melas) and the dusky dolphin (Lagenorhynchus obscurus). A full list of the species that have been documented to date around the Falklands can be found in Appendix 1. Note that many of these are typical of deeper, oceanic waters, and are unlikely to be encountered along the coast. The six species (or seven species, including two species of minke whale) described in this document are observed regularly in shallow, nearshore waters, and are the focus of this identification guide. Questions and further information For any questions about species identification then please contact the Cetaceans Project Officer Caroline Weir who will be happy to help you try and identify your sighting: Tel: 22247 Email: [email protected] Useful identification guides If you wish to learn more about the identification features of various species, some comprehensive field guides (which include all cetacean species globally) include: Handbook of Whales, Dolphins and Porpoises by Mark Carwardine. 2019.

The animal Dolphin rescue should be supported in a stretcher where possible and not left on any hard surfaces, this may dam- age the fragile bone structure of the ribs and the animal’s internal organs. Untrained help therefore from concerned citizens, although understand- able, should be avoided. Veterinary help should applied only by those individuals that have been trained on an internationally recognised cetacean medical course. The serious issue related to the transmission of diseases in cetacean species and populations and to their handling has been dis- cussed in detail at the 59th Annual Meeting of the Scientific Committee of the International Whaling Commission, which Croatia has recently joined. Blue World is a professional scientific organisation regularly participating in workshops and meetings organised by European and world experts trained in cetacean veterinary medicine. The above rec- ommendations follow the international standards of present knowledge on cetacean and dolphin Dolphin rescue is an unusually hard and extremely advice remains the same in this instance: please rescue techniques.

  • Baiji Genomes Reveal Low Genetic Variability and New Insights Into Secondary Aquatic Adaptations
    ARTICLE Received 13 Apr 2013 | Accepted 3 Oct 2013 | Published 29 Oct 2013 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms3708 OPEN Baiji genomes reveal low genetic variability and new insights into secondary aquatic adaptations Xuming Zhou1,2,*, Fengming Sun3,*, Shixia Xu1,*, Guangyi Fan3, Kangli Zhu1, Xin Liu3, Yuan Chen1, Chengcheng Shi3, Yunxia Yang1, Zhiyong Huang3, Jing Chen3, Haolong Hou3, Xuejiang Guo4, Wenbin Chen3, Yuefeng Chen1, Xiaohong Wang1, Tian Lv3, Dan Yang1, Jiajian Zhou3, Bangqing Huang3, Zhengfei Wang1, Wei Zhao3, Ran Tian1, Zhiqiang Xiong3, Junxiao Xu1, Xinming Liang3, Bingyao Chen1, Weiqing Liu3, Junyi Wang3, Shengkai Pan3, Xiaodong Fang3, Ming Li2, Fuwen Wei2, Xun Xu3, Kaiya Zhou1, Jun Wang3,5,6 & Guang Yang1 The baiji, or Yangtze River dolphin (Lipotes vexillifer), is a flagship species for the conservation of aquatic animals and ecosystems in the Yangtze River of China; however, this species has now been recognized as functionally extinct. Here we report a high-quality draft genome and three re-sequenced genomes of L. vexillifer using Illumina short-read sequencing technology. Comparative genomic analyses reveal that cetaceans have a slow molecular clock and molecular adaptations to their aquatic lifestyle. We also find a significantly lower number of heterozygous single nucleotide polymorphisms in the baiji compared to all other mammalian genomes reported thus far. A reconstruction of the demographic history of the baiji indicates that a bottleneck occurred near the end of the last deglaciation, a time coinciding with a rapid decrease in temperature and the rise of eustatic sea level. 1 Jiangsu Key Laboratory for Biodiversity and Biotechnology, College of Life Sciences, Nanjing Normal University, Nanjing 210023, China.
