| Summary: | The aim of the present work is to bring together the images documenting the presence of killer whales off New Caledonia in the last three decades. Twelve observations of killer whale pods were recorded from 1993 to 2017. Twenty-five photographs or stills from videographic films are selected and presented in the form of a catalog. Three of the photographs show details of pigmentation or markings on dorsal fin potentially useful for identification. Le présent travail a pour but de rassembler les images documentant la présence d’orques au large de la Nouvelle-Calédonie durant les trois dernières décennies. Douze observations de troupes d’orques sont recensées, de 1993 à 2017. Vingt-cinq photographies et arrêts sur image de films vidéographiques sont sélectionnés et rassemblés sous la forme d’un catalogue. Quatre des photographies montrent des marques (détails de pigmentation ou de forme d’aileron dorsal) potentiellement utiles à l’identification des individus concernés. |
