ARWPIC Right Whale sighting data summaries (NESP MB A13)
This dataset comprises summaries of sight and resight data compiled for the NESP MBH project A13 and derived from data housed in the Australian Right Whale Photo Identification Catalogue (ARWPIC) and associated effort summaries. These summaries have been compiled as part of an analysis of mark recapture information in establishing trends in the population and spatial connectivity of individuals across southern Australia. The summaries are based on original sightings data collected across 1990-2018 by ARWPIC partners. The ARWPIC is housed at the Australian Antarctic Division and managed by the Australian Marine Mammal Centre.

Resource lineage
- Statement
- Sightings data collected during systematic surveys (land-based and aerial) and opportunistic sampling. Resights based on coding and matching protocols defined in ARWPIC. Summaries consist of mark-recaptures of confirmed cows with calves based on three star photos (for population analyses) and mark-recaptures of all confirmed genders (females, males, unidentified) based on three star photos (for spatial analyses). Effort data consists of days surveyed.
