Studies of Small Whales Movement Patterns Using Satellite and Acoustic Towed Array Technology.

The primary objective of this study was to design and evaluate a Wood-Ivey Systems, PTT model 165 ARGOS satellite transmitter for housing in a package suitable for mounting on a small odontocete whale for study of its long-term movement patterns. The previously fabricated pilot whale saddles are bei...

Description
Summary:The primary objective of this study was to design and evaluate a Wood-Ivey Systems, PTT model 165 ARGOS satellite transmitter for housing in a package suitable for mounting on a small odontocete whale for study of its long-term movement patterns. The previously fabricated pilot whale saddles are being modified for use on a mid-size Killer Whale. Our present NMFS permit allows for the collecting and tagging of Killer Whales in Southern Alaska. A mounting harness with time-delay release is being designed for use on a Killer Whale.
