8、ason for doing so.Georgia Aquarium officials say the 18 belugas will help people learn more about the species and allow scientists to better understand how to protect it.

9、n a better understanding of their biology and diseases that affect them, and learn how to aid populations in their natural habitats，” says William Hurley, Georgia Aquariums chief officer. “Much of this research would be impossible in the remote locations and extreme climates where the animals live.”

10、 The Georgia Aquarium would own the 18 belugas and would rent some to aquariums across the country.Meanwhile, many scientists, including Lori Marino, a whale expert, feel strongly that the whales belong in the ocean, not in tanks.

20、hales, which use fibrous baleen to strain food from the water, are the most at risk.Scientists studying right whales off Canadas east coast have discovered that whales are sending louder calls through the water to make themselves heard. Because they invest more energy in making calls, they have less

21、 energy available for finding food and mating. Other scientists measuring whale calls against background noise pollution have discovered that right whales have lost about eighty percent of their normal communication area. This could seriously affect survival of this already threatened species. Scien
