Antarctic
Seals : Research Methods and Techniques
by Richard M. Laws (Editor)
Book Description: This book describes the methods and procedures
for field studies of the population ecology of seals in order to gather
basic scientific information and to assist in conservation efforts. The
papers in this book make specific recommendations for estimating population
sizes, for studying their behavior on land and at sea, and for immobilizing,
capturing, marking, and, where necessary, humanely killing seals in order
to study physiology, diet, bioenergetics, and make age determinations.

Swimming
With Giants : My Encounters With Whales, Dolphins, and Seals
by Anne Collet, Gayle Wurst (Translator), Marc Sich
Like her late compatriot Jacques Cousteau, French marine
biologist Anne Collet has traveled the world in search of exotic denizens
of the deep. Unlike the apparently imperturbable Cousteau, Collet has no
difficulty admitting that her encounters with some of these creatures have
terrified her. "Make no sudden movements, and stick together," she instructs
her companions while swimming after a female right whale. "She must not
think she is surrounded. Animals detest that. As long as she feels safe,
we have nothing to fear." Adds Collet, wryly, "I don't know if I managed
to persuade them; it was hard enough to convince myself."
In this memoir, a scuba-mask view of the world below
the waves, Collet recounts her adventures in studying whales, dolphins,
and other marine mammals under a variety of conditions, some of them full
of peril. That peril, however, concerns all: most of the species she has
studied, she warns, are in grave danger, not least because of the all-but-unimpeded
use of pelagic trawl nets by commercial deep-sea fishing fleets, which
kill five to ten thousand dolphins a year in the Bay of Biscay alone. With
their steady disappearance, marine ecosystems begin to unravel, and Collet
warns urgently that action must be taken now if the sea--and, by extension,
the planet--is to be brought back to health, its terrifying residents included.

Japanese Eat Babies
More than half the whales killed by Japanese whalers in the Antarctic
last summer were pregnant females, the Humane Society International (HSI)
said today.
The group said that of the 505 Antarctic minke whales killed, 262 of
them were pregnant females, while one of the three giant fin whales killed
was also pregnant.
