Photo selection.-Literature. 330 $aBased on actual data of Soviet whaling, and reliable methodologies that existed at the time when this monograph was written, it examines the distribution and migration patterns of whales of the Southern Ocean. It defines distinct populations on the basis of phenes, as well as whale breeding zones, which are located in the adjacent to the Southern Ocean waters at lower latitudes. The book records the presence of a new species of killer whale in the Southern Ocean - Orcinus nana. Prenatal growth patterns, pregnancy and lactation duration, mean sizes of new-born whales are determined. Methods for the graphic recording of registering structures are described, and an original method for their decoding is proposed to determine animal age. The age of sexual and physical maturity, life expectancy is determined. Earlier unknown ?pair formations? on the lower jaw of baleen whales and sperm whales are described, together with their macro, histological and electronic microscopic structure. The impact of the extermination of whales on the Southern Ocean ecosystem is examined, recommendations for control of the current state of whale populations are given, and perspectives of whale population recovery are estimated. Regions that could be used as testing areas for whale registration method are defined. The book is intended for biologist-cytologists, ecologists and other specialists interested in cetaceans, and for biology students. 410 0$aAdvances in Polar Ecology,$x2468-5712 ;$v5 606 $aAnimal ecology 606 $aConservation biology 606 $aEcology 606 $aMarine sciences 606 $aFresh water 606 $aNature conservation 606 $aBiodiversity 606 $aAnimal Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19015 606 $aConservation Biology/Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19150 606 $aMarine & Freshwater Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U36000 606 $aNature Conservation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U26008 606 $aBiodiversity$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L1903165 606 $aBalenes$2thub 607 $aAntàrtic, Oceà$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aAnimal ecology. 615 0$aConservation biology. 615 0$aEcology. 615 0$aMarine sciences. 615 0$aFresh water. 615 0$aNature conservation. 615 0$aBiodiversity. 615 14$aAnimal Ecology. 615 24$aConservation Biology/Ecology. 615 24$aMarine & Freshwater Sciences. 615 24$aNature Conservation. 615 24$aBiodiversity. 615 7$aBalenes 676 $a599.5 676 $a599.509167 700 $aMikhalev$b Yuri$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0997618 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910373903203321 996 $aWhales of the Southern Ocean$92287898 997 $aUNINA
