The Gully submarine canyon off eastern Canada has been designated a pilot marine protected area largely because of the northern bottlenose whales (Hyperoodon ampullatus) found there. Studies this species' diet elsewhere in North Atlantic Ocean have suggested specialization on deep-sea squid Gonatus fabricii. We high proportion congener steenstrupi stomachs two stranded Canada. In 1997, we collected remote biopsy samples from free-ranging Nova Scotia; fatty acids were determined blubber and...
Sperm whales, Physeter macrocephalus, were tracked by means of a recording depth sounder in the waters off Galapagos Islands. At depths less than 300 m whales generally dived nearly vertically at 60–100 m/min. greater their descents usually slower. Between February and April 1985, they to about 420 m, which is approximately oxygen minimum. In 1987, year warmer water temperatures, 70 shallower. There was no apparent diurnal variation dive depths. None ocean floor. Whales for 40 min, followed...
A bstract Fecal samples were collected while following sperm whales ( Physeter macrocephalus ) off the Galápagos Islands, Ecuador. They contained 133 upper beaks and 164 lower of cephalopods. Analysis suggests that fed primarily on three genera cephalopods; Histioteutbis (62%), Ancistrocbeirus (16%), Octopoteutbis (7%). The beak dimensions indicate cephalopods ranged in mantle length from 5 to 54 cm mass 12 650 g. varied significantly between five study years over different parts area, but...
The feeding success of sperm whales off the Galápagos Islands, Ecuador, was examined over 5 study years; 1985, 1987, 1988, 1989, and 1991. A total 160 days were spent following at sea. defaecation rates used as an indication success. recorded acoustic click aggregative foraging behaviour. Significant variation in occurred temporally periods days, months, years. Feeding also varied spatially with geographic area. inversely related to sea surface temperature (SST). associative behaviour...
Abstract The northern edge of Georges Bank is an important seasonal foraging habitat for swordfish ( Xiphias gladius ) in the North Atlantic, where aggregations support commercial pelagic longline and harpoon fisheries. Following a period overfishing during 1990s, Atlantic X. stock underwent recovery early 2000s was considered rebuilt 2009. We analysed stomach contents from n = 39) harvested by Canadian fishery on 2007 to characterize diet this habitat. used electronic tagging data 6)...
How safe are the workers who process our food?Workers in animal slaughtering and processing industry have higher incidence rates of injury or illness than overall average for private workers.This article compares case types among industries that make up processing.Case characteristics cases involving days away from work compared with similar job transfer restriction.From 2011 to 2015, 73 fatal occupational injuries were recorded this industry; looks at circumstances these workers.In reported...
Aerial grasping is beginning to revolutionize industrial applications through robotics in Industry 4.0. However, this sector still lacks a gripper mechanism effective autonomous of in-house cargo and simple enough for rapid generation implementation on variety drones. A novel four-bar linkage rigid was developed address these challenges. This constructed lightweight multi-material 3D printed components facilitating construction designs. The setup allows easy scaling while modular end...
