SWFSC Marine Mammal Survey, STAR 2003, Cruise 1624 Citation Jackson, Alan, Tim Gerrodette, Susan J. Chivers, Morgan Lynn, Paula Olson and Shannon Rankin. 2004. Marine mammal data collected during a survey in the eastern tropical Pacific aboard the NOAA ships McArthur II and David Starr Jordan, July 29 - December 10, 2003.

This survey was conducted by the NOAA Southwest Fisheries Science Center aboard NOAA ships David Starr Jordan and McArthur II for a combined total of approximately 26,000 kilometers surveyed from late July to early December 2003. 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 David Starr Jordan. more 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.
