* » Abstract |
As part of the Bering Sea Integrated Ecosystem Research Program (BSIERP) funded by the North Pacific Research Board (http://www.nprb.org/bering-sea-project), cetacean surveys were conducted to describe distribution and estimate abundance on the eastern Bering Sea shelf. Three marine mammal observers conducted visual surveys along transect lines sampled during the Alaska Fisheries Science Center walleye pollock assessment survey in June and July of 2008 and 2010. We collected sighting data for all cetaceans, and produced abundance estimates for the following species: humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) and fin whale (Balaenoptera physalus), minke whale (B. acutorostrata), Dalls (Phocoenoides dalli) and harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena). |
* Purpose |
Understanding distribution and abundance is important for evaluating how environmental changes will influence the habitat and behavior of cetaceans (whales, dolphins and porpoise). Also, because year-to-year variation in ocean temperatures and productivity has been shown to affect their prey of zooplankton and schooling fish, determining how cetaceans interact with their environment will help predict how they will respond to these changes. |

Accuracy |
Data was collected using the software WINCRUZ version 6.24 (http://tinyurl.com/qhtakea) and standard line transect protocols as described in Moore et al. 2002; Progress in Oceanography. Accuracy was ensured by reviewing and editing the data in the field on a daily basis. Post cruise processing included data extraction and error checking using customized software (Paul Wade, National Marine Mammal Laboratory). Tracklines and sightings were plotted in ArcMap to check for accuracy. |
