Abstract

The constraints imposed by studying a mammal in an aquatic environment and by the nerd to use benign methods have made it necessary to develop novel approaches in order to investigate the biology of marine mammals. The approaches have been made possible by recent technological advances and by the willingness of granting agencies to fund expensive, high–risk projects in marine science.

We review new techniques which have been developed for estimating the population size of marine mammals, for investigating the relationship between individuals and populations, for studying the behaviour and energetics of animals in the open sea, and for the management of small and endangered populations. We also indicate how these techniques may be applied to a variety of terrestrial mammals.
