Need photo of 1975 marine mammal conference
by Phillip Clapham 07 Dec '05

07 Dec '05

Does anyone have one or more scanned photos of the first biennial conference on the biology of marine mammals, in Santa Cruz in 1975? I'd really like to find a good one to use for the talk Jim Mead, Dee Allen and I are giving at the upcoming 16th biennial. Bonus points for pictures of Ken Norris at that time! Thanks.

Dolphin Research Internship - Immediate Opening
by emily 07 Dec '05

07 Dec '05

Dolphin Research Internship - Immediate Opening Dolphin Research Center (DRC) is currently accepting applications for an immediate opening as a Research Intern. DRC is a not-for-profit education and research facility, home to a family of Atlantic bottlenose dolphins and California sea lions. DRC is located on Grassy Key, in the heart of the Florida Keys. Internships at DRC are an exciting way to develop career skills as well as an opportunity to get "behind the scenes" to see how a marine mammal facility operates. Research interns participate in DRC's ongoing research projects, giving them broad exposure to a variety of research methodologies. Interns receive extensive on-the-job training in observing marine mammal behavior, collecting observational data, working with research equipment, and assisting with behavioral research sessions. In addition, educational opportunities are available such as informal journal article reviews and the development of personal learning objectives. Specific job duties include: · Collecting observational data · Preparing stimuli for behavioral research sessions · Assisting in setting up and tearing down equipment for behavioral research sessions · Operating video equipment · Entering data into the computer for analysis · General support of the facility through participation in the volunteer resource pool (facility maintenance, bird care, assisting with public programs, guest interactions, etc.) Research studies can vary widely in nature and availability. For information on past or current research projects at DRC, please visit our website, at www.dolphins.org. Publications: Jaakkola, K., Fellner, W., Erb, L., Rodriguez, A. M., & Guarino, E. (2005, in press). Understanding the concept of numerically less by bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus). Journal of Comparative Psychology. Internships require a minimum of a 12-week commitment (16 weeks is preferable), 40 hours per week. The internship is unpaid, and interns are responsible for providing their own housing. DRC will provide assistance in locating housing and/or matching up interns and volunteers desiring roommates. Successful candidates will be ready and willing to learn, self- motivated, and flexible. Prior research experience is recommended but not required. Applications will be accepted until the position has been filled.

Garage Sale reminder
by Ari Shapiro 06 Dec '05

06 Dec '05

To: MARMAM Subject: Garage Sale reminder This is a friendly reminder to you and yours that at the upcoming conference in San Diego, we will be hosting the Third International Marine Mammal Extravaganza: The Orderly Garage (sale) Opportunity (TIMME: TO GO), a marine mammal-themed garage sale to benefit the student travel fund. At an opportune moment (now), please raid your colleagues' work space for those little trashy treasures (hint: the tops of computer monitors tend to be especially rewarding). Anything vaguely resembling a marine mammal is fair game. Don't give in to his or her pleas ('I kinda like this' is just not acceptable) - it's for a worthy cause after all. But hey, we're not picky - we'll also gladly take those dusty marine mammal books off your hands. Or that old SLR camera that became obsolete when your photoID project went digital. Bring them along to San Diego (or give them to someone who's going) and drop them off at the garage sale table: E10 & E11 in the exhibition area. Once in San Diego be sure to include the garage sale in your holiday shopping plans. Embellish your home and office with marine-mammal accoutrements. Shower friends and family with luscious gifts (we won't tell that you paid less than $5 for them!). Experience the thrill of the silent auction. Re-gift, rebel, recycle! Safe travels and happy trails! The TIMME: TO GO Team

harbour porpoise click train patterns
by Sven Koschinski 06 Dec '05

06 Dec '05

Dear all, as a part of a study using porpoise click detectors (T-PODs)in a windfarm area I want to compare patterns within click trains or click train series obtained at two T-POD locations (inside and outside the windfarm). For this purpose I am working out a literature study on meaningful click patterns and their possible purpose in a behavioural context. Much of the information needed seems to be hidden in papers dealing with biosonar performance. I would appreciate every piece of literature (peer reviewed, conference proceeding, working papers etc.) which helps to define categories for my study. I already found following papers: Au, W. W.

Final announcement for workshop "Considerations of Mitigation Tec hniques to Reduce Small Cetacean Bycatch in Fisheries" at SMM Conference
by LawsonJ＠DFO-MPO.GC.CA 05 Dec '05

05 Dec '05

Hello all, We are in the last few days running up to the SMM conference and I wanted to post a final announcement regarding the workshop "Considerations of Mitigation Techniques to Reduce Small Cetacean Bycatch in Fisheries", to be held Saturday, December 10th, 2005 at the Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego, San Diego, California. There are spaces remaining for this event and those who have not yet contacted me to add their name to the participants' list are encouraged to do so. With some effort I have been able to keep registration costs down to $20US so as to assist student attendees, while still having two coffee breaks. Registration will take place on Saturday morning at 0800 at the venue (room Elizabeth F, second floor). A variety of international speakers will be presenting lead-off talks, with attendees encouraged to contribute to the ensuing discussions. The agenda is: Workshop Agenda 0900 - Scope of the small cetacean bycatch problem worldwide As this aspect of the topic has been covered in detail by several workshops and scientific committees recently, I think it better to cover topics where much effort is now concentrated 0930 - Why and how are small cetaceans caught in fishing gear? A review of the reasons why, and the ways how, small cetaceans are bycaught in gear. Are small cetaceans caught in nets due to a detection or target classification problem? Why are dolphins and larger whales caught in pelagic trawls? 1000 - 15 minute break 1015 - Bycatch Mitigation Approaches (1) Mechanical methods to reduce bycatch new net technologies to facilitate release or exclusion alternatives to gillnets for some fisheries (e.g., fish "pots" for groundfish) "coated nets" to enhance their detection by small cetaceans (2) Acoustical methods to reduce bycatch "traditional" pingers "responsive" pingers ADDs 1245 - 45 minute lunch break 1330 - Bycatch Mitigation Approaches (continued) (3) Operational methods to reduce bycatch modified net deployment patterns, depths etc. closed areas, seasons, or times 1500 - 15 minute break 1515 - Experiences in the challenges of management and public support of mitigation implementation voluntary implementation legal approaches 1600 - Modelling of Mitigation Effectiveness risk analysis (e.g., when is mitigation no longer necessary, or of sufficient benefit relative to cost? How do we test mitigation effectiveness?) can there be different objectives for mitigation (i.e., zero mortality vs. sustainable removals) 1700-1730 - Wrap up and final discussions Other details can be obtained by contacting me via e-mail or phone, or by going to the web link at the UN site from the SMM conference page. I look forward to seeing you all there!

barnacle Xenobalanus globicipitus
by ekane＠southampton.liu.edu 05 Dec '05

05 Dec '05

Hello, I am a Long Island University, Southampton College student currently participating in an internship at Southwest Fisheries Science Center (NMFS/NOAA) under the supervision of Tim Gerrodette and Paula Olson. My research project is on the commensal whale barnacle Xenobalanus globicipitus within the eastern tropical pacific. I have found 4 species that have been previously unrecorded to my knowledge. They are Humpback whales, Spinner dolphins, Bryde's whales, and long-beaked common dolphins (D. capensis). If anyone has seen this barnacle on any of these cetaceans, or any cetaceans for that matter, could you please let me know. I am also trying to compile a list of known hosts and occurrences, so this information can be helpful. For a picture of this barnacle, see http://ip30.eti.uva.nl/bis/crustacea.php?menuentry=soorten&selected=beschri… Below is an alphabetical list of references that I have obtained.
