Abstract:
This 2000 eastern tropical Pacific cetacean line-transect survey was part of the Stenella Abundance Research Project (STAR), a multi-year cetacean and ecosystem assessment study designed to assess the status of dolphin stocks which have been taken as incidental catch by the yellowfin tuna purse-seine fishery in the Eastern Tropical Pacific. This survey was conducted by the NOAA Southwest Fisheries Science Center aboard NOAA ships <i>David Starr Jordan</i> and <i>McArthur</i> for a combined total of approximately 31,000 kilometers surveyed from late July to early December 2000. This dataset provides the time-date and geographical coordinates, by species/stock, of all cetaceans detected during the survey, as well as the daily and intra-daily start and end points of the line-transect survey by the NOAA Ship  <i>David Starr Jordan</i>.

Purpose:
The primary purpose of the survey was to collect information necessary to estimate abundance of dolphin stocks in the eastern tropical Pacific that are taken as bycatch in the yellowfin tuna purse seine fishery.

Black corals (Anthozoa: Antipatharia) from the deep (916 m–2542 m) Coral Sea, north-eastern Australia

Keywords: Occurrence, Specimen
Temporal coverage: 1986/1992

Twenty one specimens collected on CIDARIS expeditions I–III between 1986 and 1992, housed in the collections of the Museum of Tropical Queensland (MTQ) were examined and identified to the species level based on corallum and skeletal spine attributes as defined in the literature.
The 21 specimens examined represented five nominal species (Bathypathes patula, Schizopathes affinis, Abyssopathes lyriformis, Parantipathes cf. hirondelle, and Heteropathes cf. americana) from five genera and two families. All five species represented new species ranges for the western Coral Sea. The occurrences of these species expand their known geographic ranges from 1,000 km to &gt; 15,000 km, and the known
bathymetric ranges for some species by up to ~1,000 m

Abstract:
The main purpose of this study is to know how a rehabilitated harbour seal (Phoca vitulina) reintegrates his natural habitat. CHENE is a rehabilitated center for all wildlife. Each year, we take care of harbors, useally young ones, coming from beach in the north of France (from Baie du Mont-Saint-Michel to Dunkerque). Generally these youngs arrive because of the separation from the mother just before weaning or because they cannot find sufficient food for their energy requierements just after it weaning. Others arrive because of injuries or deseases.It is important to know what happene for these animals after release. This study provides us information about their movement patterns and their behaviour. The tag gives us different kind of data : dive depths, dive durations and haultout. L'objectif principal de cette étude est de connaître le devenir des phoques veaux-marins (Phoca vitulina) soignés, une fois de retour dans leur mileu naturel.Le CHENE est un centre de sauvagarde de la faune sauvage. Chaque année nous accueillons des phoques, souvent des jeunes, provenant des plages de la côte nord de la France (de la Baie du Mont-Saint-Michel à Dunkerque).La pluspart du temps, les jeunes que nous accueillons arrivent au centre à cause d'une séparation prématurée d'avec la mère, avant le sevrage, ou à cause de difficultés à s'alimenter juste après le sevrage. Certains arrivent également suite à des contusions ou des maladies.Il est important pour nous de savoir ce que deviennent ces animaux après leur lâcher. Cette étude nous apporte des informations sur leurs déplacements et aussi sur leur comportement. Les balises enregistrent différentes informations : profondeur et durée des plongées et le temps passé au sec.

Abstract:
TGS-NOPEC Geophysical Company (TGS) conducted a 2D marine seismic survey along predetermined lines in U.S. Federal and international waters of the Chukchi Sea during the open-water season from 25 August to 30 October 2013. Two vessels were involved including 1) a seismic vessel (Geo Arctic) towing a 3,280 cu.in. seismic array and 8,100 m long solid streamer cable and 2) a marine mammal monitoring vessel (Norseman) which operated in advance of the seismic vessel.  Both vessels had teams of visual protected species observers (PSOs) trained to monitor and implement seismic mitigation according to regulatory permits from U.S. Agencies.  A combined-vessel total of 480 visual sightings occurred over 30,798  km of combined-vessel observer effort (both on and off effort). In addition to visual observers, the monitoring vessel also employed a towed passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) system. This dataset includes visual sighting data and acoustic data is presented separately.

OTN Nova Scotia Power - Tag Release Metadata

Keywords: Observation, Occurrence
Temporal coverage: 2010/2012

This is the OBIS extraction of the OTN Nova Scotia Power project, consisting only of the release tagging metadata. i.e. the locations  and dates of tagged animal release. If readers are  interested in the full source  dataset they should refer to the OTN web site  (members.oceantrack.org). Abstract: The first of three installations of in-stream tidal power infrastructure in the Minas Passage of the inner Bay of Fundy was deployed in November 2009. Little is known about the impact of turbine operation on the survival and behaviour of fishes moving through the Passage. To address the potential for fish-turbine interactions near the deployed OpenHydro turbine, we are using animal tracking technology developed by Vemco of Halifax, Nova Scotia, to track fish movement, behaviour and environmental preferences over a scale of kilometres. This project will provide real in-situ measurements of the direction, depth and velocity of tagged fishes moving through the Passage. Three species of concern will be tagged during 2010: Atlantic sturgeon, striped bass and American eels. Fishes tagged with acoustic transmitting tags will broadcast unique signals that will be archived by an array of acoustic hydrophone receivers in the Minas Passage. A dense array of receivers located at the OpenHydro turbine site will provide fine scale information on movements and behaviour of fish in relation to an operating tidal turbine. In addition a line of receivers spanning the Passage, placed in co-operation with OTN and Acadia University, will provide information on the spatial and temporal distribution and movement of fish in the Passage. To enhance the assessment of the risk to fishes of direct contact with the turbine, in situ data will be used to refine mathematical hydrodynamic models that predict how objects like fish move in the Passage and potentially interact with turbine infrastructure. This information will be valuable in identifying mitigation measures that may be taken to lessen any negative effects of in-stream turbine infrastructure on fish behaviour and survival.
