Acoustic Behavior of North Atlantic Right Whale (Eubalaena glacialis) Mother-Calf Pairs
The long-term goal of this project is to quantify the behavior of mother-calf pairs from the North Atlantic right whale (Eubalaena glacialis) to determine a) why mothers and calves are more susceptible to collisions with vessels and, b) determine the vocal behavior of this critical life stage to ass...

Summary: | The long-term goal of this project is to quantify the behavior of mother-calf pairs from the North Atlantic right whale (Eubalaena glacialis) to determine a) why mothers and calves are more susceptible to collisions with vessels and, b) determine the vocal behavior of this critical life stage to assess the effectiveness of passive acoustic monitoring to detect mother-calf pairs in important habitat areas. Prepared in collaboration with the Protected Species Branch, Northeast Fisheries Science Center, NOAA Fisheries, Woods Hole, MA. |
