The Tasmanian cetacean stranding record : a review of the cetacean strandings in Tasmanian waters and an examination of possible causes ...
Tasmanian cetacean stranding reports are examined and reviewed to establish the composition of the record and identify possible causes of the strandings. The record, to the end of February 1986, comprises 213 stranding events (152 single and 61 herd strandings) dating from 1825. These events involve...
