Interactions with marine mammals
Data is to be collected in accordance with the protocol set out in annex E. For each haul and each species of depredating whales (killer whales Orcinus orca and sperm whales Physeter macrocephalus):
- Priority 1 data to be collected include:
1. Presence/absence data: Presence / Absence / Not observed;
2. When presence, photo-identification data: photographs of specific body parts (for killer whales: dorsal fin, saddle patch and eye patches; for sperm whales: tail flukes) visible when whales come to the surface.
- Priority 2 data to be collected include:
1. Estimates of the number of individuals present around the vessel in the vicinity of the fishing gear.
- Priority 3 data to be collected include:
1. Information about whether or not whales interact with the gear;
2. Estimate of the time of arrival of whales in the vicinity of the gear.
