Ethology of Southern Right Whale (Eubalaena australis)

Abstract:

This dissertation is a continuation of a previous Bachelor's thesis (2011). It is focused on ecology and mainly on ethology of Southern Right Whale (Eubalaena australis). My aims were to explain some behavioural elements and compare the dispersion in one particular areas with the wind. The dissertation is divided into 9 chapters. The theoretical part introduces Southern Right Whale and explains the ethology and ecology of this animal. One chapter is also devoted to the threats and last chapter of theoretical part is about whale watching, which is one of the quickest developing industries in the world. Practical part is focused on two hypotheses about whale behaviour and dispersion. All data collected and analysed in this thesis are from whale watching boat of Dyer Island Cruises (www.whalewatchsa.com) with support from the Dyer Island Conservation Trust (www.dict.org.za).
