Abstract:
This 1999 eastern tropical Pacific cetacean line-transect survey was part of the Stenella Abundance Research Project (STAR), a multi-year cetacean and ecosystem assessment study designed to assess the status of dolphin stocks which have been taken as incidental catch by the yellowfin tuna purse-seine fishery in the Eastern Tropical Pacific. This survey was conducted by the NOAA Southwest Fisheries Science Center aboard NOAA ships <i>David Starr Jordan</i> and <i>McArthur</i> for a combined total of approximately 31,000 kilometers surveyed from late July to early December 1999. This dataset provides the time-date and geographical coordinates, by species/stock, of all cetaceans detected during the survey, as well as the daily and intra-daily start and end points of the line-transect survey by the NOAA Ship <i>McArthur<i>.

Purpose:
The primary purpose of the survey was to collect information necessary to estimate abundance of dolphin stocks in the eastern tropical Pacific that are taken as bycatch in the yellowfin tuna purse seine fishery.

摘要：本数据集记录了1999年东太平洋热带海域鲸类线形横断面调查，该调查作为“斯特林纳丰度研究项目”（STAR）的一部分，该研究项目是一项跨年度的鲸类与生态系统评估研究，旨在评估被东部热带太平洋黄鳍金枪鱼围网渔业视为附带捕获的鲸鱼种群的状况。该调查由美国国家海洋和大气管理局西南渔业科学中心在“大卫·斯塔·乔丹”号和“麦卡瑟”号船上进行，共计约31,000公里，调查时间从1999年7月下旬至12月初。该数据集提供了在调查期间检测到的所有鲸类的物种/种群的时间-日期和地理坐标，以及美国国家海洋和大气管理局“麦卡瑟”号船线形横断面调查的每日及日内起始和结束点。

目的：调查的主要目的是收集必要的信息，以估算在东部热带太平洋被黄鳍金枪鱼围网渔业作为附带捕获的鲸鱼种群的丰度。
