Visual and acoustic contacts (1994 - 2001) are available on OBIS-SEAMAP, while acoustic recordings are stored in our Sound library and available upon request. Marine Biology Passive acoustic detection Marine Animal Survey Marine mammals Acoustic - group size Vessel N/A This is a subset of sperm whale detections from an acoustic detection dataset "<a href='http://seamap.env.duke.edu/dataset/1114' target='_blank'>Acoustic detections from research cruises in the Med sea, 1994-2001</a>". Sperm whale detection records have an estimated group size while others do not. Effort tracklines are registered with "Acoustic detections from research cruises in the Med sea, 1994-2001". Data from visual contacts are registered in a separate dataset "<a href='http://seamap.env.duke.edu/dataset/1078' target='_blank'>Visual contacts from research cruises in the Med sea, 1994-2001</a>".
