Description
Original provider: National Marine Mammal Laboratory Dataset credits: National Marine Mammal Laboratory Abstract: From 13 July to 24 August, 1993, a part of a larger study, the waters surrounding the Kodiak Island were surveyed for killer whales (<i>Orcinus orca</i>) from the NOAA Glorita using line transect methodology. To provide adequate coverage throughout the area, the study was limited to areas of known killer whale concentrations. The vessel was 44.8 m (147 ft) long and had a bridge height of 8.8 m (29 feet).

marine, harvested by iOBIS. This dataset and associated effort data were updated on September 8, 2005. Those who downloaded them before that date should renew them.
| Purpose | The objectives of this study were as follows: <br> 1) Develop a photographic identification catalogue of each killer whale encountered, and its pod, to determine pod identity, distribution, and movements relative to annual survey effort, <br> 2) Obtain minimum population estimated of killer whales in the southeastern Bering Sea, central/eastern Aleutian Islands, western Gulf of Alaska (including Prince William Sound), and southeastern Alaska, and <br> 3) Establish baseline data for detecting annual changes in abundance. |
