NMML 2000 Bering Sea Shelf Cetacean Survey
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
Visual line-transect surveys for cetaceans were conducted in the southeastern Bering Sea (SEBS) from 10 June to 3 July 2000, in association with a Pollock stock assessment survey aboard the NOAA ship Miller Freeman.
Description
Observers scanned for cetaceans with 25x (Big Eye) binoculars from the flying bridge (platform height = 12m) at survey speeds of 18.5-22 km h-1 (10-12 knots). Transect survey effort was 2194 km in 2000, in a study area 158,561 km2.
An additional 402 km of trackline was surveyed in 2000, respectively, while in transit to or from pollock survey way points. Fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus) were the most common large whale, and Dall's porpoise (Phocoenoides dalli) the most common small cetacean. In the SEBS (2000), uncorrected abundance estimates were: 683 (CV _ 0.32) fin whales, 102 (CV _ 0.50) humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae), 1003 (CV _ 0.26) minke whales, 9807 (CV _ 0.20) Dall's porpoise and 1958 (CV _ 0.21) harbor porpoise.

Non-pollock echosigns observed near cetaceans, some of which may have been cetacean prey, were not routinely identified during trawl sampling because the research focus was on pollock abundance assessment. � 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Such surveys, combined with measures of local hydrography and prey field should be the goal of future cetacean assessments.
