Deep-diving behaviour of the northern bottlenose whale, Hyperoodon ampullatus (Cetacea : Ziphiidae)
Using suction-cup attached time-depth recorder/VHF radio tags, we have obtained the first diving data on northern bottlenose whales (Hyperoodon ampullatus), thr first such data on any species within the family Ziphiidae. Two deployments in 1997 on northern bottlenose whales in a submarine can)ron of...
