- W4313367039 abstract "Spatiotemporal information is crucial for cetacean research and conservation, particularly for wide-ranging and migratory species. Sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) are distributed worldwide in deep oceans; however, little is known about the species in the western margin of the Pacific Ocean. Here, we examined the available information related to the occurrence, distribution, and potential habitats of sperm whales in the waters off China. Historical whaling information (18th–20th century) indicates that sperm whales have been captured in the East China Sea (ECS) and South China Sea (SCS). Furthermore, sporadic strandings have been recorded since the 1910s, and more frequently from 1990 onwards. Since 1990, accidental sightings have been documented in the eastern ECS, northeastern and southern SCS, and their adjacent waters. More recently (2019–2022), field encounters have been reported in dedicated ship-based investigations in the Xisha and Nansha waters, providing robust evidence of the regular existence and potential residency of sperm whales in the northwestern and central areas of the SCS. Female nursery groups suggest that the Xisha waters might be an important nursing ground for sperm whales. Satellite tracking data from four adults showed that sperm whales in the SCS might display both fine-scale and long-distance movements. Taken together, it appears that sperm whales are currently active in the waters off China, and that deep waters (depth >200 m) in the ECS and SCS may provide the species with critical habitats. This review provides crucial baseline information on sperm whales in the waters off China, which may help to facilitate future research efforts and conservation initiatives for the species at national and cross-regional scales. More field investigations and other monitoring approaches including acoustic monitoring, biologging, photo-identification, and genetics are required to reveal the distribution, movement, and habitat use patterns of sperm whales in these waters." @default.
