Physeter catodon (180489) => Physeter macrocephalus (180488) [2017-03-28] Two sighting records were updated with more accurate species identification: 2011-10-25 11:40 Ziphius to Ziphius cavirostris 2012-01-31 10:42 Ziphius to Ziphius cavirostris [2014-03-18] Sperm whale sightings were assigned an invalid scientific name (P. catodon). It is corrected to P. macrocephalus. The original survey data are separated into two datasets, from left-side and right-side observers upon provider's request. This dataset is from the left side sightings data. The right side sightings data are available on OBIS-SEAMAP in the USWTR Hatteras Aerial Survey -Right side- 2011-2012 dataset. This dataset includes a subset of the data collection for the Hatteras Aerial surveys.
