SWFSC Marine Mammal Survey, STAR 2000, Cruise 1615 Citation Kinzey, Douglas, Tim Gerrodette, Andrew E. Dizon, Wayne L. Perryman, Paula Olson and Shannon Rankin. 2001. Marine mammal data collected during a survey in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean aboard the NOAA ships McArthur and David Starr Jordan, July 28 - December 9, 2000.

This survey was conducted by the NOAA Southwest Fisheries Science Center aboard NOAA ships David Starr Jordan and McArthur 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 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.
