CHARACTERIZATION OF BEAKED WHALE (ZIPHIIDAE) AND SPERM WHALE ( PHYSETER MACROCEPHALUS ) SUMMER HABITAT IN SHELF‐EDGE AND DEEPER WATERS OFF THE NORTHEAST U. S.
A bstract Sperm whales ( Physeter macrocephalus ) and beaked whales ( Mesoplodon spp. and Ziphius cavirostris ) are deep‐diving cetaceans that frequent shelf‐edge and Gulf Stream waters off the northeast U. S. coast. Sighting data collected during seven summer (1990, 1991, 1993, and 1995–1998) shipb...
