Today krill is consumed by an increased abundance of smaller whales (minkes), seals (notably the crabeater seal) and seabirds (notably several penguin species), plus humans. Whales were sighted occasionally and the boats were lowered on several occasions, but no whales were taken. The post-lapsarian world impinged with the first sightings of commodities, seals and whales. In the post-war period, whaling yielded valuable food oils and meat, and much money had been spent on factory ships and infrastructure. Next comes birds, divided into seabirds and penguins, followed by mammals, with sections on whales and seals. Here, the authors combine the word culture with whales and dolphins. What if whales and dolphins had their own recognizable culture, as determined in accordance with a commonly acknowledged set of criteria for culture? Size might be an obstacle to captive study of the large cetaceans, but the majority of toothed whales can be studied in captive settings. They then use these low standards to argue that some whales have unique cultures only matched by humans. The examination of culture in whales and dolphins is not self-contained. If this were so elephants and whales would have language. By that time, however, the local stocks of whales were becoming depleted. Work began on the 10 blue whales, and the catchers brought a further seven during the day: prospects were improving. In theory, such a framework should have guaranteed not only the survival of the world's great whales but their sustainable use for human benefit. Methods for determining the age of whales improved. Unsurprisingly, whaling featured prominently amongst the potential economic advantages that the region could offer that country. Unfortunately, there were no right whales to be found and the voyage was a commercial disaster. Special efforts were made to reduce the time to death for all sampled whales. Thus, a lower capacity to complete meiosis in oocytes derived from prepubertal whales may be supported by these findings. Why do whales and hummingbirds have so similar a range of capacities? Thus, whales at the beginning of the breeding season might produce various songs that end up converging toward a unique interpretation within the group. Yes, swimming into shallow water endangers young whales, and yes, adults do engage in activities which sometimes facilitate stranded pups' return to deep water. In the target article, we tried to look objectively at the phenomenon of culture among whales and dolphins. Fishing and whaling have become less and less central to the local economy over the last decades. Animals, including whales and dolphins, do not engage in pedagogy, and with the exception of vocal mimicry, evidence for motor imitation is weak as well. Diverse interests often had contrary (and usually short-term) objectives, and in the resulting compromises everyone lost out, especially the whales. Nineteen appendices with extensive data on catches on the various grounds, companies, vessels, whaling harbours, managers, government officers, etc, conclude the volume. Later we passed many large pieces with large seals, penguins, and two whales about 35 feet long. There are hundreds of entries covering virtually every form of life on land or sea, from microscopic plant forms to giant whales. He then moved into sealing, making sufficient profit to fund a purpose built ship and to venture into whaling. They returned with an average catch of 28 bottlenose whales. His response was to turn his attention to new whaling grounds. During this stage of the voyage preparations for whaling had already started. All the whales that had been brought in had been processed, and hence the 2nd and the morning of the 3rd were unusually quiet. The new ship's first season was strikingly successful: 1443 whales, producing 112,500 barrels. On that morning there were 12 blue whales lying alongside the factory ship, and more arriving daily. She was an old barquerigged whaling ship, of about 230 tons. Special attention was given to all the sampled whales to reduce their time to death. Fetal whales reach a body length of 2.6-3.0 m at birth. There have been suggestions of gene-culture coevolution in cetaceans, and culture may be implicated in some unusual behavioural and life-history traits of whales and dolphins. Well, it appears that whales and dolphins have, in any event, done this once again. There have been two suggestions that substantial gene-culture coevolution has occurred in whales and dolphins; since both involve historical explanation, neither can be empirically proven. Egalitarians need not object to the fact that there are more electrons than protons, or more roaches than whales. A major theme is the government policy towards the industry, but the text also deals with most aspects of the whaling operations. As few whaling ships carried meteorological instruments, atmospheric temperature and pressure records are rare. Of particular value among whaling records are the logbooks that were kept on board the ships, recording day-to-day events of each voyage. The next year eight whalers caught 800 whales. Although the weather was calm, there was a significant swell running and some of the flensers refused to work on the whales. One catcher was detailed to follow astern in case any of the whales broke adrift. She was, for a short period of time, a floating refinery for the whaling fleet. The mean diameter of primordial follicles (36.7 + 0.4 m) in the fetal ovary of minke whales was smaller than that in mature pilot whales. Men were absent at sea for most of the time, fishing, whaling or in the merchant marine. There was a slight swell, however, and hence, although she had towed two partially flensed whales with her, no work could be done on them. The concept of 'fish' was revised, quite appropriately, to exclude whales and dolphins on these grounds. Ovaries were collected within 3 h after the death of donor whales. All adult whales were found pregnant by the presence of a fetus in their uteri. She returned from her first voyage with a catch of four whales and 170 seals, producing 32 tons of oil. The vessels were equipped with a whaling cannon bolted on the foredeck and two bottlenose cannons fitted aft. Other whaling sites and sites of leases are not shown. With respect to how we ought to treat whales and dolphins, the handwriting has been on the wall, or shall we say on the waves, for some time now. The definitive hosts of this parasite are marine mammals such as seals, whales and dolphins, whilst the intermediate or paratenic hosts are pelagic fish or squid. Each nation wanted to go on whaling until it had either got a reasonable return on its investment or found cheaper substitutes for its products, or both. Here we provide the first quantitative description and statistical tests of the pattern of change in brain size relative to body size in dolphins and whales over 47 million years. Here he recorded a rather extraordinary sight, 100 whales that appeared to be standing erect in the bay, their white heads two feet above the surface. In the year 1900 the great whales were probably consuming 190 million tonnes of krill per year, but today they are estimated to account for only 40 million tonnes. How does the learning ability of dolphins and whales, animals with the largest brains ever to exist on earth, compare with that of the platypus, ferret, and armadillo? The three subsequent peaks of whaling activity between 1918 and 1972, which accounted for the majority of the total catch, are the subject of only two chapters. With fine-scale acoustic analyses of calls, click codas, and songs, researchers demonstrate that vocalizations of groups differ, but it is not known whether the whales themselves make those group-level distinctions. During the following night four catchers turned up with a further eight whales, making a total of 10, but strong winds and rough seas still prevented any flensing. A breakwater arrangement mounted from the bow was built in later years, but never used, and a side-mounted slip was later tried, but lasted for only two whales. Four catchers returned on the afternoon of the 1st without any whales, nor had they seen any blue whales, although minke whales and orcas were abundant. First, despite the conventional wisdom about the selective advantage of increased brain size, there is no detectable overall evolutionary tendency towards larger brains in dolphins and whales. Thus, there is a clear case for studying the cultural transmission of information directly as parts of the research agendas of the longterm field studies of whales and dolphins. Only four whales had been spotted. We consider it unlikely, however, that indigenous people who are not currently whaling will be able to demonstrate a valid need. From the Hansard archive Example from the Hansard archive. Contains Parliamentary information licensed under the Open Parliament Licence v3.0 I have had more about whales, lambs or calves. From the Hansard archive Example from the Hansard archive. Contains Parliamentary information licensed under the Open Parliament Licence v3.0 The reason why there has been only one whaling expedition is because there has been only one whaling season. From the Hansard archive Example from the Hansard archive. Contains Parliamentary information licensed under the Open Parliament Licence v3.0 The species of whales which are in danger have a moratorium which has been extended indefinitely. From the Hansard archive Example from the Hansard archive. Contains Parliamentary information licensed under the Open Parliament Licence v3.0 There is no reason to suppose that the decrease was due to whaling operations. From the Hansard archive Example from the Hansard archive. Contains Parliamentary information licensed under the Open Parliament Licence v3.0 Is the presence of whales deleterious to the herring fisheries or is the absence of whales? From the Hansard archive Example from the Hansard archive. Contains Parliamentary information licensed under the Open Parliament Licence v3.0 I am told that now that they are protected these whales may recover, but that it will take about 50 years. From the Hansard archive Example from the Hansard archive. Contains Parliamentary information licensed under the Open Parliament Licence v3.0 I make it plain that whales must be regarded as ejusdem generis with creatures; that creatures embraced whales. From the Hansard archive Example from the Hansard archive. Contains Parliamentary information licensed under the Open Parliament Licence v3.0 There are at least 78 species of cetaceans currently in existence, of which 12 are commonly referred to as "great" whales. From the Hansard archive Example from the Hansard archive. Contains Parliamentary information licensed under the Open Parliament Licence v3.0 Among whales, dolphins and bats, this pattern-matching process can be very clearly observed. If vocal dialects can define bird cultures, then it would be only be fair to apply the same standards to whales. We have suggested several aspects of the natural history of whales and dolphins that may have promoted the evolution of these complex cultures. The author argued that as the whaling ship was a closed community of approximately 300 men, this was suggestive of an infectious aetiology. An epilogue briefly describes this development in whaling after 1931. He had anticipated taking 1000 whales, and needed to obtain 20,000 barrels of oil to cover expenses. In 1885 a fleet of 22 caught 800 whales. Their melon is very bulbous compared with other toothed whales giving them more flexibility, so they can produce a wide range of different facial expressions. One might suppose that those species (whales, birds) that are accustomed to roaming widely around the oceans could readily migrate in response to global warming. What again, if anything, links whales and walls at the interface of representation? First, fresh inoculum from the forestomach of minke whales is used to mimic the initial bacterial degradation of the substrate. The most specialized dental structures of all are probably the baleen plates of the largest whales, modified for straining plankton from sea water. In whales, the digits are longer in the hand and the hindlimb has disappeared. Many whales also spend some considerable time swimming on the surface, where good sight is required but where their sonar is of little use.
