The Relationship among Oceanography, Prey Fields, and Beaked Whale Foraging Habitat in the Tongue of the Ocean
Figure 5
This plot shows interpolated relative foraging density at the extent of the hydrophone arrays in light to dark grey and backscatter at 550 meters from blue to red points representing low to high values.
Circles are locations of CTD and MP casts. The western and southwestern areas of the study area had higher foraging effort and greater mean scattering volume.
