Sei whale:

Date/time (local)OccurrenceLatitudeLongitudeNotes
08/15/23 10:19:49Possibly detected48.7152-62.5985Possible SW downsweeps in P10 (classified as HW call type 17; no evidence of humpback whale presence) and P3 & 7 (unclassified).
08/15/23 11:49:49Possibly detected48.7134-62.5946Possible SW downsweep (classified as HW call type 17; no evidence of humpback whale presence) in P13.
08/15/23 16:04:49Possibly detected48.6986-62.5511Possible SW downsweeps in P3 & 5 (classified as HW call type 17; no evidence of humpback whale presence) and P10 (unclassified).
08/15/23 19:49:49Possibly detected48.6881-62.5185Possible SW downsweeps in P8 (classified), P10 (classified as HW call type 17; no evidence of humpback whale presence), and P11, 12, & 14 (unclassified). Possible RW upcalls in P14. The one that is classified as RW has an inconsistent amplitude and several small artifacts, but it has a checkmark shape, although this may be due to an artifact connecting two unrelated sounds, as the high-amplitude downsweep at the start of the call is similar to the downsweep immediately following the classified call; the call classified as HW call type 16 is low amplitude and has several artifacts, so it is difficult to tell whether the shape is distorted or indicative of a genuine call. There is too much uncertainty in these two putative calls, so right whales have been left as 'not detected'.
08/15/23 20:04:49Possibly detected48.6881-62.5185Possible RW upcall in P11; although the call has a small artifact, which may be distorting its shape, it is isolated, mid-amplitude, and classified, so it may indeed be a genuine call. Possible SW downsweep (classified as HW call type 17; no evidence of humpback whale presence) in P13.


Fin whale:

Date/time (local)OccurrenceLatitudeLongitudeNotes
08/15/23 22:34:49Possibly detected48.6691-62.4805Three possible FW pulses in sequence (two classified) in P14 with an INI = 8 seconds. One classified RW upcall in P5, but it has an inconsistent amplitude and an artifact distorting its shape. There are additional possible upcalls in P6 & 11, but these all have very short durations and artifacts. None of these calls are convincing of right whale presence.


Right whale:

Date/time (local)OccurrenceLatitudeLongitudeNotes
08/15/23 00:04:49Possibly detected48.7680-62.7064One classified RW upcall in P5, with an additional possible upcall in P4 (low amplitude, short duration, unclassified). Although the call in P5 has a low amplitude, it is isolated, has a good shape, and is classified.
08/15/23 04:49:49Possibly detected48.7428-62.6650Possible RW upcall in P14; although it has a short duration, it is isolated, has a consistent amplitude, and is classified.
08/15/23 11:58:32Possibly detected48.7134-62.5946Possible RW upcalls in P2; the classified call has a short duration, low amplitude, and lacks a convincing shape, but the unclassified upcall preceding it has a higher amplitude and much nicer shape. There is an additional possible RW call at the end of P2.
08/15/23 20:04:49Possibly detected48.6881-62.5185Possible RW upcall in P11; although the call has a small artifact, which may be distorting its shape, it is isolated, mid-amplitude, and classified, so it may indeed be a genuine call. Possible SW downsweep (classified as HW call type 17; no evidence of humpback whale presence) in P13.
08/15/23 20:19:17Possibly detected48.6689-62.4814Possible RW upcall in P4; although it is low amplitude, it is relatively isolated, has a nice shape with no artifacts, and is classified.
08/15/23 22:19:49Possibly detected48.6691-62.4806Two classified RW upcalls in P7 & 16. The call in P7 has an inconsistent amplitude and prominent artifact distorting its shape, while the call in P16 has a very low amplitude and short duration; neither call is isolated nor singularly convincing of right whale presence. However, there are other possible RW upcalls in P4, 7, & 16. Although none of these calls are perfectly isolated and each has one or two small artifacts, they all have adequate shapes and the three calls in P4 & 7 are mid-amplitude. Therefore, there is a strong possibility that the calls in this period are attributable to right whale presence.
08/15/23 23:04:49Possibly detected48.6691-62.4803Three classified RW upcalls in P5, 11, & 12. The call in P5 is mid-amplitude with a nice shape; the call in P11 is mid-amplitude, but has a large artifact distorting its shape, so it is difficult to tell whether this may be a genuine call; the call in P12 is lower amplitude and looks to have an adequate shape, but also has a small artifact, so might too be distorted. There are other possible right whale upcalls throughout the period, but all of these have very short durations and/or artifacts that distort their shapes. Because the first classified call is fairly convincing, right whales have been marked as 'possible' for this period.
08/15/23 23:19:49Detected48.6692-62.4802Seven classified RW upcalls in P1, 3-5, 10, & 14, with additional possible upcalls in P2, 3, 6-8, & 13 (unclassified). Particularly good calls are in P4 & 10.
08/15/23 23:34:49Detected48.6692-62.4801Six classified RW upcalls in P5, 6, & 13-16, with additional possible upcalls in P2, 4, & 9 (unclassified).
08/15/23 23:49:49Detected48.6692-62.4799Thirteen classified RW upcalls in P2, 4, 5, 7-12 & 15, with additional possible upcalls in P2, 7, & 12 (unclassified). Particularly convincing calls in P7, 10, 11, & 12.
