Pygmy Killer Whale Tracking

Cascadia Research Collective (CRC) has been undertaking surveys for odontocetes in Hawaiian waters since 2000. Pygmy killer whales are one of the least abundant odontocetes in Hawaiian waters. Photo-identification and satellite tagging suggests there are small resident populations of pygmy killer whales off several of the main Hawaiian Islands.
