Stranding Network Hokkaido (2023). Cetacean Stranding Data in Hokkaido. Version 1.10. National Institute of Genetics, ROIS. Sampling event dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/f9y3xd accessed via GBIF.org on 2023-12-08.

Description

The Stranding Network Hokkaido (SNH) has collected cetacean stranding information since 2007 along the coast of Hokkaido, Japan, with the collaboration of the Hokkaido University, Tokyo University of Agriculture, Obihiro University of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine, and with assistance from the National Museum of Natural History, and the Institute of Cetacean Research, Japan. This data set includes at least 23 cetacean species.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

Stranding data is collected directly from our observer or from the communication with the local observer.

Sampling

The Stranding Network Hokkaido (SNH) announced to send the stranding information to the public including governmental officers, coast managers, fishers, beachcomber. Once someone reports the information of cetacean stranding, SNH asked to send photos and collect necessary information for confirming the stranding location and species. In more than half of the case, SNH dispatch researchers to collect more information, photo and biological samples.

Quality Control

Species identification is double-checked by the DNA analysis conducted in the Institute of Cetacean Research, Japan.

Method steps

  1. Stranding data is collected directly from our observer or from the communication with the local observer.
