"IT ONLY TAKES A FRACTION OF 1% OF A POPULATION TO TANGIBLY SHIFT THE ENERGY OF A WHOLE AREA..."

63. Marine Mammals Page 1 - Coral Reef Life On Sea And Sky Sea and Sky's Marine Mammals page 1 contains information about the atlantic bottlenose dolphin, atlantic spotted dolphin, pilot whale, killer whale, and humpback whale. http://www.seasky.org/reeflife/sea2k.html

Enter your search terms Submit search form Web www.seasky.org Marine Mammals Page 1 Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphin (Tursiops melaena) The bottlenose dolphin is perhaps the most familiar of the sea mammals. Their gentle nature has endeared them in our hearts. These highly social animals have actually been known to rescue humans from danger. They are intelligent creatures with a brain size similar to ours. Some scientists believe they are capable of complex communication skills. Atlantic Spotted Dolphin (Stenella frontalis) The Atlantic spotted dolphin looks very similar to the bottlenose dolphin except for the noticeable body spots. They are generally somewhat smaller than their cousins. As with all dolphins they travel in close family groups called pods. Pilot Whale (Globicephala melaena) The pilot whale is a small member of the whale family, averaging about 10 feet in length. They are perhaps better known for the mass strandings in which entire pods of these animals will beach themselves in an apparent attempt at suicide. This behavior has yet to be explained. Killer Whale (Orcinus orca) The killer whale of Shamu and "Free Willy" fame is a highly intelligent and very sociable animal. It is a standard attraction at most marine parks. Pods of Orcas have been known to work together when hunting for food. They will even temporarily beach themselves to catch one of their favorite foods - the sea lion.

67. Marine Biology - Marine Mammals Covers the three orders Cetacea - whales, porpoises, dolphins; Pinnipedia - seals, sea-lions, walruses; Sirenia - manatees and dugongs. http://www.lifesciences.napier.ac.uk/teaching/MB/MB15.html

Return to index Marine Biology 15. Marine Mammals Marine Mammals fall into 3 orders: Order Cetacea - whales, porpoises, dolphins; Order Pinnipedia - seals, sea-lions, walruses; Order Cetacea The entire lifecycle is aquatic. There are two sub-orders based on their feeding mechanism - Mysticeti and Odonticeti Sub-order Mysticeti Baleen whales - including the largest animals - Blue Whales. They use brush-like triangular plates (baleen) which hang from roof of mouth - maybe 480 plates on each side of jaw - continuously renewed. The plates filter out zooplankton, small fish or squid and the tongue moves this food into the throat. Right whales are skim feeders; Minke whales are lunge and gulp feeders; Grey whales suction feed on benthic animals. These whales have mechanisms to increase feeding success. Fin Whales scare their prey into schools while Humpback whales use a bubble-net to amass their prey Sub-order Odonticeti Toothed whales, porpoises, dolphins. First teeth are retained throughout life - grasp and swallow whole prey. Opportunistic feeders - fish, squid, crustaceans. Killer whales eat warm-blooded prey - cetaceans, seals, penguins. Improve feeding by co-operative hunting. Killer whales will surf onto a beach to capture seals, or tip up ice flows to disturb prey. Habitats and distribution River and coastal sp. have small home ranges while offshore sp. forage widely and have broad home ranges. Some live in warm equatorial waters, others are found in all oceans eg Killer Whale and Bottle-nosed Dolphins. Large baleen whales migrate from winter breeding in tropics (no feeding) to summer feeding at high latitudes (40% wt gain in 4-5mths). Odontocetes seasonal response is movement on-off shore

Marine mammals You are here: Conservation Native animals Marine mammals In this section: Marine mammals Dolphins Seals Whales ... DOC's role New Zealand has a rich and diverse fauna of marine mammals. Almost half the world's cetaceans (whales, porpoises and dolphins) have been reported in our waters. For example, endemic Hector's dolphins (found nowhere else), rare beaked whales, New Zealand sea lions (found only in our southern waters), and the widely distributed New Zealand fur seals/kekeno. Other seals that visit our shores occasionally, such as the southern elephant seal/ihupuku and the leopard seal, are found in larger numbers in Antarctic and sub-Antarctic waters. Threats The populations of many species of large whales, (such as southern right whales and humpback whales) and both our indigenous seals were reduced to near extinction by commercial whalers and sealers of the past two centuries. Some are still threatened or endangered, and now face additional threats from habitat degradation, global climate change, by-catch in fishing operations, entanglement and accumulation of pollutants in the oceans. Dolphins Nine different species of dolphin are found around the New Zealand coast, including Hector's, Maui's and bottlenose dolphins.

The rules authorize the Navy to conduct the training, while requiring it to take steps to avoid endangering mammals such as whales. Similar regulations were issued previously covering the West Coast and Hawaii by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The rules will be in effect for five years, but the Navy will have to provide annual reports and seek a new letter of authorization for its training each year, said Jim Lecky, director of the office of protective services at NOAA's Fisheries Service.

They are to the sea what we are to the land—intelligent, social, with language and play, capable of learning, and with populations stretching from pole to pole. Ocean Futures Society is dedicated to supporting the health and wellbeing of these magnificent animals and to sharing what we continue to learn about them, including the challenges they face, too often from our own species.

WHAT'S HAPPENING AT MERI San Antonio Statement Questions Widespread Use Of Flame Retardants MERI director among co-authors of statement in Environmental Health Perspectives Signed by nearly 150 scientists from 22 countries, the statement raises concerns about a major class of chemicals used as flame retardants in consumer products like televisions, computers, cell phones, upholstered furniture, mattresses, textiles, and automobiles. The authors, including MERI’s director, Dr. Susan Shaw, point to the growing body of evidence that brominated and chlorinated flame retardants are accumulating in humans and the environment, harming unborn children, affecting people’s hormones, and playing a role in causing cancer. Such flame retardants may not even improve overall fire safety, they point out. They call not just for the use of alternative chemicals, but also innovative changes in product design which could reduce the need for toxic flame retardants. The statement's signatories are all experts in the study of environmental contaminants. To read the statement in Environmental Health Perspectives , click here . For the full press release, click
