Book excerpt: “An eruption, black, shimmering object breaks the oily surface, the giant tail rises, hovers, then gently slides back, disappearing smoothly without splash or ripple; a further disturbance occurs in the placid water, another similar black object, this time a bulbous shape giving vent to a high, misty spout of water; the object moves slowly, akin to a `Polaris’ submarine submerging to join his companions, a pod of sperm whales, generally milling around but moving steadily southwards.” “this unique story of life aboard a whaling factory ship, told by a junior whalerman has never been told before. The writings remain factual, embellishments being unnecessary” “landing a whale is analagous to that of a fishing rod. The line in this instance being a two inch nylon rope attached to the harpoon which is fed under the gun platform, running to the top of the mast, the latter performing as a fishing rod. The winch or reel, situated below the bridge helmsman and sometimes in conjunction with the catchers engine helps to `play’ the victim.” “a steamy haze swirls around mid-ships bridge; there is shouting and swearing, the steel cable becomes taut, pulling a shiny, creamy looking mass, an inverted sperm whale skull with eye sockets agape, a scene from the comics could not offer more horror. It skids across the slimy, blood red deck, expertly winched by the forward winchman” “...icebergs, different sizes and shapes, a sculptors dream, always with the white cap of frozen snow. Sometimes stark, silhouetted against a blue horizon or with edges, similar to a Turner seascape, disappearing into mist; suns reflections, miraculous, beautiful rainbow colours, contrasting colours of pink, orange to deep vermillion and red, all forming the rich, colourful, awe inspiring palette of nature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on actual data of Soviet whaling, and reliable methodologies that existed at the time when this monograph was written, it examines the distribution and migration patterns of whales of the Southern Ocean. It defines distinct populations on the basis of phenes, as well as whale breeding zones, which are located in the adjacent to the Southern Ocean waters at lower latitudes. The book records the presence of a new species of killer whale in the Southern Ocean - Orcinus nana. Prenatal growth patterns, pregnancy and lactation duration, mean sizes of new-born whales are determined. Methods for the graphic recording of registering structures are described, and an original method for their decoding is proposed to determine animal age. The age of sexual and physical maturity, life expectancy is determined. Earlier unknown “pair formations” on the lower jaw of baleen whales and sperm whales are described, together with their macro, histological and electronic microscopic structure. The impact of the extermination of whales on the Southern Ocean ecosystem is examined, recommendations for control of the current state of whale populations are given, and perspectives of whale population recovery are estimated. Regions that could be used as testing areas for whale registration method are defined. The book is intended for biologist-cytologists, ecologists and other specialists interested in cetaceans, and for biology students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Marine scientist Michael J. Moore says we are all whalers, but we don't have to be. Eating fish leads to North Atlantic right whales' entanglement and death. Buying goods made around the world requires global shipping routes, which do not accurately consider right whale breeding and feeding sites, leading to collision. To explain this, Moore conveys to readers scenes from over thirty years' worth of fieldwork, performing whale necropsies for animals stranded on beaches, working as an independent researcher alongside whalers using explosive harpoons, and tracking injured pregnant whales to deliver antibiotics. Despite these sometimes disturbing experiences, Moore has written a hopeful book. He uses these stories to show we can change and to tell us how; the technology for rope-less fishing and tracking whale migrations already exist to protect both right whales and the people who depend on shipping and fishing for their livelihoods"--
