Summary: | PEX), a multidisciplinary study to investigate he biological and physical processes associated with the very high annual springtime abundance ofright whales (Eubalaena glacialis) in the Great South Channel off New England. Right whales appear to gather there in the spring because of the increased abundance of aggregations of their principal prey, the copepod Calanus finmarchicus. Observations of hydroacoustic scattering were made in relation to the hydrography, whale distributions, and other biological measurements in the vicinity of the Great South Channel during |
