摘要

Cetaceans are iconic animals often referred to as keystone and umbrella species. They are keystone creatures because their disappearance may lead to the disappearance of other species (Paine, 1969,1995), and umbrella because conservation actions that mitigate threats to them are likely to improve the prospects for the protection of other organisms, as well as the ecosystem itself (Mann et al., 2000; Prideaux, 2003; Roberge and Angelstam, 2004). In several areas worldwide, the significance of cetaceans as keystone and umbrella species is increasingly well recognized, as is the need to protect charismatic megafauna (Garibaldi and Turner, 2004; Roberge and Angelstam, 2004; Hoyt, 2005). In recent years, there have been a growing number of monitoring investigations on dolphins and whales that have contributed to the identification of key areas for cetaceans and helped in the creation or expansion of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs; Dawson and Slooten, 1993; Hooker et al., 1999; Gregr and Trites, 2001; Hooker and Gerber, 2004; Fury and Harrison, 2008; Hoyt, 2011). A few MPAs have also facilitated the protection of cetaceans, the species they feed upon, and their habitats (Hooker and Gerber, 2004).
