Pacific walrus foraging and haulout behavior 2008 (B67)
Listed in National Center for Atmospheric Research
Pacific walrus (n = 10) were instrumented with satellite-linked data logging behavior monitors to collect foraging, haulout and movement data in the Saint Lawrence Island polynia.
Description
Towards this end, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) developed custom satellite-linked data loggers capable of (1) characterizing hourly walrus foraging and haulout status and (2) tracking movements for 6 to 8 weeks. To locate walrus herds suitably situated for instrumentation, the USGS walrus team placed observers on reconnaissance flights.
The USGS team instrumented 10 (4 females, 5 males and 1 unknown sex) walruses within the polynia.
