This book gathers the most recent research findings on ecology
and conservation of marine vertebrates in Latin America, making
use of high technological methods to show readers the diversity
of the marine research that has been conducted in these countries
over the last decades. The book brings authors from more than 23
institutions of 7 different countries developing the most diverse
research aiming at ocean conservation through the ecology of
different vertebrate animals, such as whales, dolphins, manatees,
turtles, seabirds and fish.

turtles, seabirds and fish.This book deals with technological advances and innovation in
the ecology and conservation of marine vertebrates in Latin
America. This eclectic collection is broad in scope but provides
detailed summaries of new methods that are deployed in the study of
marine environmental conservation. Key issues revolve around the
development and application of educational methodologies in the
field of marine vertebrate research, which provide a rational basis
for better management of marine environments using modern
techniques associated with GIS, satellite tracking, aerial systems,
bioacoustics, biogeochemistry, genetics, underwater videography,
species photoidentification, molecular biology, trophic ecological
methods, ethological methods, and behavioural ecology, among
others. Discussion and elucidation of these kinds of techniques are
aimed at university-level students and post-graduate researchers.
The scope of this volume includes whales, sharks, rays, dolphins,
tropical fishes, turtles, manatees as well as aspects of Latin
American marine ecosystem conservation. Researchers in this
biogeographic region, as well as others involved with marine
vertebrate research, will find this work essential reading.
