Right Whale Habitat and Migration in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean
This study successfully used OSU-developed Argos implantable satellite-monitored radio tags to collect location data on large endangered whale species. These data were used determine feeding and migratory movements, and characterize critical habitats. Whales studied included Hawaiian humpback whales...
