Abstract:
The cetacean communities inhabiting eastern tropical Atlantic (ETA) waters
along the west coast of Africa are globally amongst the most poorly studied.
The limited recent information available is derived mainly from the monitoring
of strandings and fisheries interactions at landing sites. However, little is
known about the habitat preferences of the species that occur off Congo
because at-sea sightings have rarely been published.
