D., NOAA Southeast Fisheries Science Center Abstract: A spring cetacean survey in the northern U.S. Gulf of Mexico was conducted in 1999 by NOAA Southeast Fisheries Science Center and Minerals Management Service to examine cetacean abundances in both oceanic and continental shelf waters. This survey was conducted in coordination with the spring Southeast Area Monitoring and Assessment Program (SEAMAP) ichthyoplankton survey. The dataset contains sightings of not only cetaceans but also other species including sea turtles, fish and shark observed during the ship survey. During the 36 survey days, at least 18 species were sighted, including Bryde's whale Sperm whale Dwarf/pygmy sperm whale Cuvier's beaked whale Striped dolphin Spinner dolphin Clymene dolphin Pantropical spotted dolphin Atlantic spotted dolphin Bottlenose dolphin Rough-toothed dolphin Risso's dolphin Killer whale False killer whale Pilot whale Pygmy killer whale Melon-headed whale The dataset is accompanied by transect data which is provided as a separate file.原始提供方：美国国家海洋和大气管理局东南渔业科学中心（NOAA Southeast Fisheries Science Center, SEFSC） 数据集致谢：Hubard, C.
