| Antarctic
Killer Whale Identification Catalogue - sighting form. |
Founded by Dr. Ingrid N. Visser in 2001, the Antarctic Killer
Whale Identification Catalogue (AKWIC) is the first collaborative
photo identification project for orca (also known as killer
whales) in Antarctic waters.
|
 |
| Information
is collected from various sources such as tourists and researchers. |
Analysis of data aims to increase knowledge about
the distribution, population dynamics, foraging behaviour and
habitat requirements of killer whales in Antarctic waters.
You can contribute to AKWIC if you have sightings, photographs
or video of orca from Antarctic and Sub-Antarctic waters. Once
sufficient data has been compiled it will be hosted on this
web site.
