Abstract

This report pertains to a four year study of the biology and natural history of small whales (e.g. Globicephala and Grampus griseus) using aerial and ship surveys, radio telemetry, and remote sensing technology. Special emphasis was placed on determining relationships between the distribution and movement patterns of these species of small whales and various oceanographic parameters.
