Data from: Behavioural estimation of blue whale movements in the Northeast Pacific from state-space model analysis of satellite tracks ...
Baleen whale migrations typically consist of annual movements between productive, high-latitude feeding grounds and unproductive, low-latitude breeding grounds. However, the actual migratory path and whales’ behaviour in these locations are poorly known. The objectives of this study were to apply a...
