STOCK DEFINITION AND GEOGRAPHIC RANGE
The distribution of the sperm whale in the USA EEZ (Exclusive Economic Zone) occurs on the continental shelf edge, over the continental slope, and into mid-ocean regions (Figure 1). Waring et al. (1993) suggest that this offshore distribution is more commonly associated with the Gulf Stre am edge an...
