Welcome to the Ceta-Base!

This website serves as an online database of captive marine mammals around the world. Each database is organized by species: Luga'logue (Belugas), Or'census (Killer Whales) and the Phin'ventory (Dolphins & Porpoises). Within each species database there are three population categories - Living, Deceased and Historical. By default each inventory will start out on the Living Population of animals, basically the current captive animals. If you're interested in animals that have passed on you'll want to look at the Deceased Population for each species. Finally, the Historical Population will combine both the Living and Deceased animals to provide a more complete look at animals held at each respective facility throughout the years.

The most recent changes to the database are noted below.
