Marine Research:
Novel Venture
In The
Antarctic
THE CHINA MAIL, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1958.
An unusual enterprise in marine research is shortly to take place. It is a cruise in which whales will be marked in the Antarctic to obtain information on their movements, migrations and distribution, and also, it is hoped, on the propor tion of the stock which is taken by the whaling industry.
The marking of fish is a well-established method of research by marine biologists who study the fisheries and the problems of con- servation of the stocks of fish. Similar investiga- tions are made on the stocks of whales, especially In the Antarctic where the largest numbers are found and where most whaling is done.
