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. 000928498 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on February 17, 2020). 000928498 650_0 $$aWhales$$zAntarctic Ocean. 000928498 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aMikhalev, Yuri$$tWhales of the Southern Ocean : Biology, Whaling and Perspectives of Population Recovery$$dCham : Springer,c2020$$z9783030292515 000928498 830_0 $$aAdvances in Polar Ecology ;$$vv. 5. 000928498 852__ $$bebk 000928498 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-29252-2$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000928498 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:928498$$pGLOBAL_SET 000928498 980__ $$aEBOOK 000928498 980__ $$aBIB 000928498 982__ $$aEbook 000928498 983__ $$aOnline 000928498 994__ $$a92$$bISE
