{wiki=Cetology}
Cetology is the branch of marine biology that studies cetaceans, which include whales, dolphins, and porpoises. This field of study involves the behavioral, ecological, evolutionary, and conservation aspects of these marine mammals. Cetologists may focus on various aspects, such as the social structures, communication, migration patterns, and habitat needs of cetaceans, as well as the impact of human activities (like fishing, shipping, and pollution) on their populations.
