Sperm whale, Physeter macrocephalus, stranding on the Pakistani coast
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 February 2007
Abstract
Sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) occur frequently in stranding records worldwide. However, none have been reported along the Pakistani coastline to date. This paper documents the first reported stranding of a sperm whale on the Pakistani coast. Ultimately, this finding is important in the planning of Pakistan's Biodiversity Action Plan and its National Conservation Strategy for marine mammals.
