U.S. Pacific Marine Mammal Stock Assessments, 2016

Résumé du livre

"Pacific region stock assessments include those studied by the Southwest Fisheries Science Center (SWFSC, La Jolla, CA), the Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC, Honolulu, HI), the National Marine Mammal Laboratory (NMML, Seattle, WA), and the Northwest Fisheries Science Center (NWFSC, Seattle, WA). The 2016 Pacific marine mammal stock assessments include revised reports for 23 Pacific marine mammal stocks under NMFS jurisdiction, including eight "strategic" stocks: Hawaiian monk seal, Guadalupe fur seal, Southern Resident killer whale, California/Oregon/Washington humpback whale, California/Oregon/Washington fin whale, Eastern North Pacific sei whale, Main Hawaiian Islands Insular false killer whale, and Hawaii Pelagic false killer whale. New abundance estimates are available for 16 U.S. west coast stocks: Guadalupe fur seal, Washington Inland Waters harbor porpoise, California/Oregon/Washington stocks of Dall's porpoise, Pacific white-sided dolphin, Risso's dolphin, coastal and offshore stocks of common bottlenose dolphin, striped dolphin, short- and long-beaked common dolphin, northern right whale dolphin, short-finned pilot whale, pygmy sperm whale, fin whale, Eastern North Pacific sei whale and Southern Resident killer whales. New information on fishery-related serious injury and mortality has been updated for those stocks where possible. Updated estimates of stock abundance are also available for the Hawaiian monk seal"--Preface. [doi:10.7289/V5/TM-SWFSC-577(http://doi.org/10.7289/V5/TM-SWFSC-577)]
