Description
Summary:Information on the occurrence and function of the interspecific interactions in deep-diving odontocetes is rare. Sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) are top marine predators of oceans and generalist mesopelagic feeder between 400 and 1200 m of depth. It success is due to a combine of long-range echolocation, ability localizing deep prey patches, efficient locomotion and a large aerobic capacity during
