Distribution, Abundance and Population Structuring of Beaked Wales in the Great Bahama Canyon, Northern Bahamas.

摘要

This project is providing key information on the baseline population ecology of beaked whales m the Great Bahama Canyon to better understand and help mitigate the impacts of naval activities within this area High densities of beaked whales were found in the Cul de Sac region of the Andros-AUTEC Operating Areas which has implications for its future management uses. Chemical analyses and photographic mark-recapture findings suggest site fidelity and fine-scale population structuring of beaked whales.
