Summary
Abstract: From 9 July to 22 August, 1992, a part of a larger study, the
southeastern Bearing Sea and waters surrounding the Aleutian Islands were
surveyed for killer whales (Orcinus orca) from the NOAA Brielyn Marie using
line transect methodology. To provide adequate coverage throughout the area,
the study was limited to areas of known killer whale concentrations. The vessel
was 36.5 m (113 ft) long and had a bridge height of 6.0 m (18.5 feet).

Purpose: The objectives of this study were as follows: 1) Develop a
photographic identification catalogue of each killer whale encountered, and its
pod, to determine pod identity, distribution, and movements relative to annual
survey effort. 2) Obtain minimum population estimated of killer whales in the
central/eastern Aleutians and the south side of the Alaskan peninsula. 3)
Establish baseline data for ... View entire text
