Abstract

Cetaceans are widely distributed globally and established in a range of different habitats, including, estuarine and coastal environments, offshore oceanic waters, and deep seas (Jefferson et al. 2015; Plagányi and Butterworth 2009). These animals play key roles in the function of the marine environment, are sentinels on the health of the ecosystems, and provide multiple benefits to humans (Bowen et al. 1992; Kiszka et al. 2021; Schaeffer et al. 2008). Nevertheless, knowledge and proper data on some cetacean species are still remarkably poor.
