Cetaceans- Small-boat Surveys
Project
In Work
Small boat surveys are conducted in the waters surrounding the islands within the Hawaii EEZ.
Data collected during small-boat surveys are used for population studies. Photos are used for individual photo-identification to anaylze movements, social structure, and abundance. Biopsy samples are used for genetic analysis and population structure, contaminant and stable isotope analyses. Acoustic data are used for studies on the regional differences/similarities in stocks.

The surveys were conducted 24 August – 5 September 2014, during which a total of 1,092 km of trackline was surveyed in northern Moloka‘i waters. We had 1 encounter with Blainville’s beaked whales (Mesoplodon densirostris), 1 encounter with short-finned pilot whales (Globicephala macrorhynchus), 2 encounters with unidentified beaked whales (1 was a probable Blainville’s), and 2 encounters with unidentified odontocetes (1 was a “blackfish”; possibly a false killer whale). We collected 1,003 photos. No biopsy samples were collected and no satellite tags were deployed. The mini (High-frequency Acoustic Recording Package) HARP was successfully deployed and recovered.
