17) Sound production and hearing in the Bottle-nosed dolphin had been studied more than those of any other cetacean.

18) As coastal fisheries have become less profitable through overfishing, more fishermen have taken to killing small cetaceans to supplement their incomes.

19) Other forms of plastics also hold hazards for small cetaceans.

20) However, there is abundant anecdotal evidence of the effects of chemical pollution on the populations of small cetaceans inhabiting industrialised areas.

21) All the data published on the effect of gill-nets on small cetaceans probably represents a conservative estimate of the number of deaths.

22) First entering shallow equatorial seas, then estuaries and coastal oceans, the prehistoric cetaceans spread through the seas of the world.
