Diving by Marine Mammals

This chapter looks into the science of diving by marine mammals by considering the interplay between oxygen, carbon dioxide, and internal transport. Advances in technology have provided new options for getting time and depth information on the swimming of the Weddell seal. The size of a diving mamma...
