Article Synopsis
- Differences in prey availability, particularly Chinook salmon, may explain the contrasting populations of southern and northern resident killer whales in British Columbia and Washington State.
- Researchers used multi-frequency echosounders to measure the densities of adult Chinook in key feeding areas during summer 2020, finding that Chinook were more densely concentrated in deeper waters.
- The study revealed that although Chinook salmon were more prevalent in southern resident areas compared to northern ones, the southern residents might face food shortages at different times or locations than during the summer feeding period.
