Summary
Abstract: 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.
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 ... View entire text

Purpose: Cetacean distribution and abundance in the Bering Sea is poorly
described, with even recent reviews of cetaceans' role in the ecosystem reliant
on data from the commercial whaling era (e.g. Springer et al., 1999; Springer,
McRoy, & Flint, 1996). Commercial harvests of baleen whales (mysticetes) were
extensive in the North Pacific and Bering Sea (Miyashita, Kato, & Kasuya,
1995), especially between ... View entire text
