Visual and acoustic contacts (1994 - 2001) are available on OBIS-SEAMAP, while acoustic recordings are stored in our Sound library and available upon request.Data were collected during cetacean research campaigns, acoustic software and hardware development campaigns.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>".1994062420010711ground conditionCompleteNone plannedMediterranean Sea7.23111118.08805643.80805637.630556 NoneMarine Animal SurveyMarine BiologyMarine mammalsAcoustic - group sizeVesselNoneMediterranean SeaTaxon coveredMarine mammalsIntegrated Taxonomic Information SystemUnknownNot applicableDownloaded April, 2004http://www.itis.usda.gov/Refer to the contact information of the datasetRefer to the contact information of the datasetmailing and physical address
