Résumé du livre
"This report contains human-caused injury and mortality records of pinnipeds and cetaceans that occur in U.S. west coast waters for the period 2012-2016, for those species evaluated in Pacific region marine mammal stock assessment reports (SARs) (Carretta et al. 2016a). Mortality records, while included in this report, were not a part of the SI/NSI status evaluation that included only live animals. Subsistence and directed takes (i.e., gray whales taken by Russian natives) are not reported here but are reported in SARs published by NMFS. Previous serious injury and mortality records, including cases from 2007 through 2015, are published in previous reports (Carretta et al. 2013, 2014, 2015b, 2016b, 2017)"--Summary.
