Acoustic census of mysticete whales, Antarctic, Mar-Aug 2001,
GLOBEC
Mysticete whale calls were monitored/recorded via deployment of
directional sonobuoys during March-August 2001. This monitoring technique
is used to study whale distribution, behavior and aid in estimating
populations. Deployments were either random or when whales were observed.
The observed calls are identified by species. Ancillary calls by seals
are reported but not identified by species. The survey area included the
continental margin to the west of the Antarctic Peninsula extending from
the northern tip of Adelaide Island to the southern portion of Alexander
Island, Crystal Sound, and Marguerite Bay. Ship names/cruise ID/cruise
