At the bottom of this page you can find copies of a number of publications and reports on our work with short-finned pilot whales in Hawaiian waters.Ī group of pilot whales encountered off of Hawai ‘i on. We have been studying various aspects of the behavior and ecology of short-finned pilot whales in Hawai‘i, photo-identifying individuals in every group encountered (collecting over 450,000 photos), collecting biopsy samples being used for stock structure, pollutant, and trophic ecology studies (over 290 samples), making acoustic recordings (from some groups), and studying their diving behavior and movement patterns using LIMPET tags (from almost 150 deployments). In our sample of over 3,500 sightings of odontocetes in Hawaiian waters since 2000, short-finned pilot whales are the most frequently encountered species, representing almost 25% of all odontocete encounters. Short-finned pilot whales ( Globicephala macrorhynchus) encountered off of Kaua ‘i on 18 February 2015.
