This record provides an overview of the scope and research output of NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub Project A7 - "Monitoring population dynamics of ‘Western’ Right Whales off Southern Australia". For specific data outputs from this project, please see child records associated with this metadata.<br /> <br /> --------------------<br /> <br /> Continuation (since 1993) of annual aerial surveys, to include counts and identification photographs, of Southern Right Whales between Cape Leeuwin (WA) and Ceduna (SA), where wintering animals come close to the coast – adult females to calve, at approximately three-year intervals, other adults and juveniles less regularly. The area is the main wintering ground of a major ‘western’ subpopulation of ‘Australian’ right whales, differing in number and extent of recovery (from 19th century hunting) from an ‘eastern’ subpopulation which so far shows little if any recovery. Counts allow estimation of population trend and current numbers; identification photographs allow estimation of life history parameters.<br /> <br /> This project serves to implement a very high priority action in the Australian Government’s Conservation Management Plan for Southern Right Whale (2011-21) – Action Area B1: Measuring and monitoring population recovery; continue to obtain and refine population abundance and trends for the south-west population.<br /> <br /> Planned Outputs<br /> • Counts of animals (by class – cows accompanied by calves, other animals, by position (GPS) and time.<br /> • Head and (where appropriate) body photographs, by position and time.<br /> • Information on Biologically Important Areas for Southern Right Whales in the area surveyed.<br /> • ‘Progress’ and ‘Final’ reports, annually<br /> • Report annually to the Scientific Committee of the International Whaling Commission.<br /> • Public information through press releases and on the Museum website.

本记录概述了NESP海洋生物多样性中心项目A7 -“监测南澳大利亚近海'西部'露脊鲸的种群动态”的范围和研究成果。有关此项目的特定数据输出，请参阅与此元数据关联的子记录。<br /> <br /> --------------------<br /> <br /> 继续（自1993年以来）每年对Leeuwin角（西澳）和Ceduna（南澳）之间的南露脊鲸进行空中调查，包括计数和识别照片，那里的越冬动物靠近海岸-成年雌性大约每隔三年产一次仔，其他成年和幼鲸则不那么定期。该地区是“澳大利亚”露脊鲸的主要“西部”亚群的主要越冬地，在数量和恢复程度（从19世纪世纪狩猎）方面与“东部”亚群不同，到目前为止，这一亚群几乎没有恢复。通过计数可以估计种群趋势和当前数量;通过身份照片可以估计生活史参数。<br /> <br /> 该项目旨在实施澳大利亚政府的南露脊鲸养护管理计划（2011- 2021年）中的一项高度优先行动-行动领域B1：衡量和监测种群恢复情况;继续获取和完善西南部种群的数量和趋势。<br /> <br /> 计划产出<br /> ·动物计数（按类别-奶牛和小牛，其他动物，按位置（GPS）和时间）。<br /> ·头部和（如适用）身体照片，按位置和时间。<br /> ·关于调查区域内对南露脊鲸具有重要生物意义的区域的资料。<br /> ·每年的“进度”和“最终”报告<br /> 每年向国际捕鲸委员会科学委员会提交报告。<br /> ·通过新闻稿和博物馆网站提供公共信息。
