The California Gray Whale (Eschrichtius Robustus): A Review Of The Literature On Migratory And Behavioral Characteristics, James Bird

James E Bird

The literature search presented in Appendix A was performed to characterize the normal migratory behavior of the gray whale and to determine if introduced sound from a variety of sources, including offshore oil and gas development, would have an observable effect on that behavior. Because of the limited data on behavioral reaction of gray whales to noise and disturbance, we have also included in this literature review information on the behavioral reaction of other baleen whale species.
