Gulf of Mexico killer whale photo-ID catalog
Project
In Work
Photo-identification data on killer whales occupying the northern Gulf of Mexico have been collected in association with large vessel surveys since 1991. Photographs of killer whales are taken during encounters and unique dorsal fin marking can be used to identify individual animals. These images have been reviewed and individuals cataloged to evaluate residency and demographic patterns in killer whales in the northern Gulf of Mexico.
To examine residency patterns of killer whales in the northern Gulf of Mexico.
A photo-identification study of killer whales has been ongoing since 1992. Photos are collected opportunistically when killer whales are encountered during vessel surveys. The primary type of data collected is photo-identification images that are used
