Description

Original provider: NOAA Southwest Fisheries Science Center (SWFSC) Dataset credits: Marine Mammal and Turtle Division, Southwest Fisheries Science Center, NMFS, NOAA Abstract: The primary objective of the Stenella Abundance Research Line Transect and Ecosystem (STAR-LITE) cruise was to investigate spatial and temporal variability and line-transect methodologies in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean. The project used a multidisciplinary approach. This survey was conducted by the NOAA Southwest Fisheries Science Center aboard NOAA ship McArthur II for a combined total of approximately 9,500 kilometers surveyed from late August to late November 2007. 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. Purpose: The primary objective of this survey was to investigate spatial and temporal variability and line-transect methodologies (closing versus passing mode) in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean using a multidisciplinary approach. Supplemental information: This dataset is supplemental to the following datasets: SWFSC Marine Mammal Survey, MOPS 1986, Cruise 989 SWFSC Marine Mammal Survey, MOPS 1986, Cruise 990 SWFSC Marine Mammal Survey, MOPS 1987, Cruise 1080 SWFSC Marine Mammal Survey, MOPS 1987, Cruise 1081 SWFSC Marine Mammal Survey, MOPS 1988, Cruise 1164 SWFSC Marine Mammal Survey, MOPS 1988, Cruise 1165 SWFSC Marine Mammal Survey, MOPS 1989, Cruise 1267 SWFSC Marine Mammal Survey, MOPS 1989, Cruise 1268 SWFSC Marine Mammal Survey, MOPS 1990, Cruise 1369 SWFSC Marine Mammal Survey, MOPS 1990, Cruise 1370 SWFSC Marine Mammal Survey, STAR 1998, Cruise 1610 SWFSC Marine Mammal Survey, STAR 1998, Cruise 1611 SWFSC Marine Mammal Survey, STAR 1998, Cruise 1612 SWFSC Marine Mammal Survey, STAR 1999, Cruise 1613 SWFSC Marine Mammal Survey, STAR 1999, Cruise 1614 SWFSC Marine Mammal Survey, STAR 2000, Cruise 1615 SWFSC Marine Mammal Survey, STAR 2000, Cruise 1616 SWFSC Marine Mammal Survey, STAR 2003, Cruise 1623 SWFSC Marine Mammal Survey, STAR 2003, Cruise 1624 SWFSC Marine Mammal Survey, STAR 2006, Cruise 1630 SWFSC Marine Mammal Survey, STAR 2006, Cruise 1631
