Date/time (local)OccurrenceLatitudeLongitudeNotes
09/01/23 18:41:43Possibly detected48.7624-62.7147Possible Sei: single unclassified downsweep in P6, a few broken in P2, one classified HW17 in P13.
09/01/23 18:56:43Possibly detected48.7621-62.7145Sei: single downsweep, no presence of HW, possible Sei. Fin: pulse train of 3, 8-9 seconds intervals, conssitent with seasonal CI.


Fin whale:

Date/time (local)OccurrenceLatitudeLongitudeNotes
09/01/23 07:11:43Possibly detected48.7188-62.6129Three possible FW pulses in sequence (two classified) in P2-3 with an INI = 9 seconds.
09/01/23 07:41:43Possibly detected48.7186-62.6132Four possible FW pulses in sequence (two classified) in P12-13 with an INI = 9 seconds; not isolated.
09/01/23 10:26:43Detected48.7265-62.5957Detected Fin: Pulse train of 4 calls 9 seconds apart, conssitent with seasonal calling intervals.
09/01/23 10:56:43Possibly detected48.7268-62.5949Possible Fin: pulse train but missing a few pulses.
09/01/23 13:41:43Possibly detected48.7433-62.6530Fin: pulse train of 3 with some missing pulse making this a possible detection. Blue: a few potential arch and D calls throughout, but very faint and broken, making this not detected.
09/01/23 17:41:43Possibly detected48.7635-62.7152Possible fin: multiple pulse train of 3, with some missing pulses.
09/01/23 18:26:43Possibly detected48.7627-62.7148Fin: multiple pulse train of max 3 consecutive pulses (missing pulses).
09/01/23 18:56:43Possibly detected48.7621-62.7145Sei: single downsweep, no presence of HW, possible Sei. Fin: pulse train of 3, 8-9 seconds intervals, conssitent with seasonal CI.


Right whale:

Date/time (local)OccurrenceLatitudeLongitudeNotes
09/01/23 15:56:43Detected48.7413-62.6516Four classified right whale upcalls in P6-8, with numerous other probable unclassified upcalls across the same panels. The calls do not show any discernible pattern and there is no evidence of humpback whale presence. Calls at different amplitudes indicate that there may be multiple vocalizing individuals in this period. These calls are convincing evidence of right whale presence!


Blue whale:

Date/time (local)OccurrenceLatitudeLongitudeNotes
09/01/23 06:11:43Possibly detected48.7193-62.6122Possible BW D calls in P14-16; although one call in P16 is classified as SW call type 1, the concave-down call in P14 indicates that these are likely attributable to blue whale presence and, although the first call in P16 also appears to have slight downward concavity, it is quite subtle and difficult to tell for sure, so blue whale presence has been left as 'possible' for this period.
09/01/23 06:26:43Possibly detected48.7192-62.6124Possible BW arch and D calls in P2; despite a broken pitch track, the first call is likely to be an arch call.

09/01/23 08:11:4348.7183-62.6135Possible BW D calls in P4, 7-9, & 12, none of which have discernible downward concavity.

09/01/23 11:11:4348.7269-62.5945A few potential BW D calls
09/01/23 11:26:4348.7270-62.5942***need to come back to*** multiple no concavity D calls, a few classified singlet Sei calls and a doublet. However there are 3-4 arched sounds which could indicate presence of blue whale. I am not sure how to interpret this with the blue whale protocol. Keeping as unclassified for now.
