Influence of life-history parameters on organochlorine concentrations in free-ranging killer whales from Prince William Sound, AK
accepted 10 March 2001
Certain populations of killer whales have been extensively studied over the past 30 years, including populations that use Puget Sound, WA, the inside waters of British Columbia, South eastern Alaska and Kenai FjordsPrince William Sound, Alaska. Two eco-types of killer whales, ‘transient’ and ‘resident’, occur in all of these regions. These eco-types are genetically distinct and differ in various aspects of morphology, vocalization patterns, diet and habitat use.
