Summer distribution of marine mammals encountered along transects between South Africa and Antarctica during 2007-2012 in relation to oceanographic features
The at-sea summertime distribution of marine mammals between South Africa and Antarctica was determined along eight transects surveyed between December 2007 and January 2012. During 1930 30-minute transect counts, 1390 marine mammal individuals were attributed to 19 species: eight toothed whales ( O...
