PCB contamination has been observed in the toothed whales iOdontocett) that consume fish, seabird, and other marine mammals. Sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus, which feed on deepwater squid, have intermediate loads, whereas the predatory dolphins, which feed closer to the surface, carry higher loads. The highest loads have been observed in killer whales (Orcinus orca ), whose diets consists of salmon and seal. In contrast, the baleen whales (Mysttcett) carry much lower loads as their diet is composed of zooplankton. Even whales living in the middle of the ocean fer from land have detectable levels of PCBs and DDT. [Pg.839]

The sperm whale, Physeter macrocephalus, is the largest of all toothed whales and the largest extant carnivore. It lives in deep waters in most of the world s oceans, though it is only the mature males that visit Arctic waters. It is recognised by its huge, square head. [Pg.63]

The wax found in the cranial cavity of the marine mammal the sperm whale Physeter macrocephalus, syn. P. catodon) and two related species (pygmy sperm whale and dwarf sperm whale) from the sperm whale superfamily has industrial importance. The milky-white waxy substance, or spermaceti, is composed mainly of cetyl palmitate (3-42). The proportion of spermaceti with a lower melting point, containing predominantly unsaturated fatty alcohols, is called sperm oh. [Pg.121]
