Resumen

Each whale travelled along the edge of the shelf at c3.6 km/h and one whale, on 2 occasions at least, dived to the ocean floor. After c30 min underwater, the whales spent c9 min at the surface breathing. Analysis of vocalizations are consistent with the hypotheses that "usual clicks' and "creaks' are used for echolocation and "codas' for communication. -Authors
