Ten species were positively identified: finless porpoise, pantropical spotted dolphin, spinner dolphin, sperm whale, melon-headed whale, pygmy killer whale, false killer whale, Cuvier’s beaked whale, Bryde’s whale and fin whale. Spotted dolphins, melon-headed and pygmy killer whales were sighted around the Island of Borneo and sightings of fin whales and a sperm whale west of the Balabac Strait suggest a possible migration route of these species between the South China Sea and the Sulu Sea. This is the first record&#13;
of fin whales in the South China Sea.</abstract><purpose>This note details cetacean observations made during a cruise from Mauritius to the Philippines in April (ca 4,520 nautical miles).</purpose><supplinf>Time was not provided, so it was filled with "00:00:00."</supplinf></descript><citation><citeinfo><origin>de Boer, M.N.</origin><pubdate>2000</pubdate><title>A note on cetacean observations in the Indian Ocean Sanctuary and the South China Sea, Mauritius to the Philippines, April 1999</title><serinfo><sername>Journal of Cetacean Research and Management</sername><issue>2(3):197-199</issue></serinfo></citeinfo></citation><timeperd><current>ground condition</current><timeinfo><rngdates><begdate>19990330</begdate><enddate>19990416</enddate></rngdates></timeinfo></timeperd><status><progress>Complete</progress><update>None planned</update></status><spdom><bounding><westbc>60.52</westbc><eastbc>119.5</eastbc><northbc>13.44</northbc><southbc>-19.05</southbc></bounding><lboundng><leftbc Sync="TRUE">60.52</leftbc><rightbc Sync="TRUE">119.5</rightbc><bottombc Sync="TRUE">-19.05</bottombc><topbc Sync="TRUE">13.44</topbc></lboundng><descgeog>Indian Ocean</descgeog></spdom><accconst>Open public unless otherwise noted.
