Dear MARMAM Colleagues,
On behalf of my co-authors, I'm pleased to announce our publication (short
note) in Boletim do Labohidro, which describes apparent feeding behavior of
humpback whales while migrating along SE Brazil and interactions with
gillnets.
A stop for a snack: Apparent humpback
be increasing due
to population growth and the reoccupation process on the part of the stock of
whales that have been using Brazilian waters after the cessation of whaling
activities.
Best regards to all,
Salvatore

Numbers of dolphins found entangled varied from one to 83 in a single boat
operating off the northern Brazilian coast.
We kindly request suggestions of measures to reduce such alarming by-catch
mortality of Sotalia in the northern Brazilian fishery.
Thanks,
Salvatore
