Some of the world's most beautiful, intelligent and highly adapted
mammals inhabit our seas and oceans, and have stirred the human
imagination for many centuries. As our knowledge of marine mammals
grows, the need exists for a reliable and complete reference to the
ecology and biology of these fascinating creatures. The Handbook of
Marine Mammals series was founded with this in mind and now reaches
its conclusion with this sixth and final volume. Within the pages
of this classic series, scientists, conservationists and informed
layperson alike can find the definitive review of all the world's
whales, dolphins, porpoises, seals, sea lions, and related species
as well as sea otters and sea cows.
Volume 6 covers the remaining dolphins and porpoises in a series of
17 chapters, each written by a specialist author with extensive
personal research experience of the species. Each chapter provides
a description of the species, and includes sections on the aspects
of distribution and abundance, anatomy, physiology, behavior,
reproduction, parasites and diseases and the impact of human
activity on the animal's population and well-being. Numerous maps,
photos and drawings illustrate the text.
