A Review of the Food Habits of the Small Cetaceans of the Antarctic and Sub-Antarctic
This paper reviews the current state of knowledge of the food habits of the poorly known small cetaceans of the Southern Ocean and presents new information obtained through a study of stranded specimens in Tierra del Fuego. In the Antarctic and Sub-Antarctic, food data are available for only 10 of t...
