Patterns of fin whale (Balaenoptera physalus) seasonality and relative distribution in Canadian Pacific waters inferred from passive acoustic monitoring / James F. Pilkington … [et al.].: Fs70-5/2018-032E-PDF

"We used acoustic data from eight different locations distributed throughout British Columbia marine waters to examine geographic and seasonal trends in Fin whale calling. Our results will be useful in efforts to identify habitats of importance to Fin whales in British Columbia, but also highlight the need for further studies to fill geographic data gaps as well as seasonal gaps in wintertime ship-based effort"--Abstract, p. vi.
