Summary:
Scientists have reported the first dive
depths for Gervais' and True's beaked whales, two of the least known beaked
whale species known as mesoplodonts. The study is also the first to use a towed
linear hydrophone array to document dive depths for beaked whales, and
researchers say it's a promising method to obtain dive depths for other beaked
whale species.
