EMCDONALD on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Activity for Which Permit Is Requested
Take and import into the U.S. The
applicant’s study of movement patterns,
diet preferences, and genetics of whales
calls for collecting pencil eraser size
tissue samples from up to 200 killer
whales (Orcinus orca), 15 common
minke whales (Balaenoptera
acutorostrata), 10 Arnoux’s beaked
whales (Berardius arnuxii), 15 blue
whales (Balaenoptera musculus), 50
Antarctic minke whales (Balaenoptera
bonaerensis), 10 southern right whales
(Eubalaena australis), 35 sperm whales
(Physeter macrocephalus), 35 fin whales
(Balaenoptera physalus), and 50
humpback whales (Megaptera
movaengliae) of both sexes. The tissue
samples will be used in food and habitat
studies (using stable isotopes and fatty
acids). The same samples will also be
used to determine genetic distinctness
of the different killer whale types in
Antarctica. Tissue samples will be
imported to the U.S. for analysis at the
Southwest Fisheries Science Center.
Small (ca 40g) satellite tags or suction
cup tags will be attached to some
whales to investigate movement
patterns. Whales will also be
photographed for photo identification
purposes. Additionally, dead marine
birds or mammals and parts thereof
from killer whale kills will be salvaged,
when possible, for identification and to
determine baseline environmental
chemical composition.
Location
Southern Ross Sea, Antarctic
Peninsula.
