Full Citation Examples
Suction cup attached multisensor tags were placed on beluga whales in Bristol Bay, Alaska, to collect depth, 3D acceleration and sound. Data were coupled with satellite tag data and stomach temperature data from the same individual in 2014. Hearing sensitivity was also collected on these individuals.
Distribution Information
-
Data from 4 different whales includes ~ 10 to 50 files each.

| Abstract: |
Suction cup attached multisensor tags were placed on beluga whales in Bristol Bay, Alaska, to collect depth, 3D acceleration and sound. Data were coupled with satellite tag data and stomach temperature data from the same individual in 2014. Hearing sensitivity was also collected on these individuals. |
| Purpose: |
This data will allow identifying foraging behavior, characterizing acoustic signals indicative of foraging to be applied to long-term acoustic mooring data, as well as identify foraging hot-spots in Bristol Bay. |
