DCLDE 2026: Killer whale (Orcinus orca) ecotype and other species annotations for the Detection Classification Localization and Density Estimate (DCLDE) conference in 2026
Killer whales (Orcinus orca) exhibit significant ecological and genetic diversity, with three primary sympatric ecotypes in the Northeast Pacific: Resident, Bigg’s (Transient), and Offshore. Each ecotype is adapted to distinct ecological niches, with unique foraging strategies, social structures, and vocal behaviors. These differences underscore the challenges in monitoring and conserving each group, as they coexist within overlapping geographic ranges yet do not intermix. This dataset, compiled from diverse sources, provides a comprehensive resource for the detection and classification of killer whale vocalizations. The >225,000 call-level annotations collected from 23 locations, and a cleaned annotation csv that collates annotations across the different protocols. Recordings spanning eleven years from various geographical locations within the Northeast Pacific Ocean, collected using multiple hydrophone systems. It addresses the challenge of differentiating killer whale calls from other marine species and environmental noise and includes specific instances of confounding signals to enhance model robustness. Detailed annotations capture a broad spectrum of vocalizations and associated metadata, facilitating the development of advanced machine learning models for ecological monitoring. This curated dataset aims to improve the accuracy of killer whale detection algorithms, support conservation efforts, and advance our understanding of killer whale acoustic communication across different ecotypes.

DCLDE 2013 NOAA NEFSC North Atlantic Right Whale Annotations
공공데이터포털
This dataset is a compilation of 1 week of acoustic data, collected in the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary within the Western North Atlantic Ocean. The dataset was manually annotated for the presence of North Atlantic right whale upcalls and was originally part of the 2013 DCLDE (Detection, Classification, Localization, and Density Estimation) conference datasets, and was recently re-analyzed so all log files were from the same site (site 10, corresponds to channel 10 in multichannel data files) for the entire week of data. Each day of data was manually browsed in Raven 1.5, and all North Atlantic right whale upcalls were logged (for multichannel data, only one channel was analyzed and logged: the channel logged is indicated in the corresponding csv file). In the "Detection_Confidence" field, a definite upcall is marked as "Detected"; Possible or unknown detections ( i.e. a call could not be definitely attributed to a North Atlantic right whale), is marked as "Possibly_Detected". Acoustic data and analysis provided by NOAA Northeast Fisheries Science Center's Passive Acoustic Research group; upcall logs annotated by Nicole Pegg.
DCLDE 2022 Raw Passive Acoustic Data
공공데이터포털
The DCLDE Oahu dataset consists of a subset of passive acoustic data collected using a multi-channeltowed hydrophone array during the Hawaiian Islands Cetacean and Ecosystem Assessment Survey(HICEAS) in 2017. HICEAS was a visual and passive acoustic survey using line-transect methods. Thesurvey took place from July through November of 2017 using two research vessels that systematicallysurveyed the entire Hawaiian Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
Killer Whale Sound Production at SanctSoundSite OC04 04
공공데이터포털
This record represents killer whale sound production. Killer whale calls were detected by analysts and logged using Triton's Logger Remora. Calls were grouped into encounters, with encounters more than 30 min apart being logged as separate encounters. The following settings were used for manual scanning of long-term spectral averages: bandwidth 0-5000 Hz; 1 hour duration; and for zoomed-in scanning of spectrograms: plot length 30 s, FFT length 1000, 90% overlap. Killer whale encounters were further classified into ecotypes based on the presence of ecotype-specific call types in the encounter. Call types were identified in the spectrogram window, and all calls in an encounter were examined before an encounter was attributed to a particular ecotype. Resident ecotype call types were identified from the reference catalogue of Ford 1987, transient ecotype call types were identified from a reference catalogue based on recordings published by Deecke 2003, and offshore ecotype call types were identified from a digital catalogue (J Ford, unpubl. data) collected during field encounters with photo- or genetically identified offshore killer whales.These data were recorded at SanctSound Site OC04_04 between August 04, 2020 and December 21, 2020.

SRKW acoustic response - Investigating noise effects on the acoustic signals and behavior of Southern Resident killer whales (Orcinus orca)
공공데이터포털
In this study, vocal compensation is being investigated in Southern Resident killer whale (SRKW) calls to determine the degree to which whales can adjust to increased background noise levels. In addition, whale and vessel behavior data are also collected to determine what contribution vessel traffic has on noise levels and how noise levels influence whale behavior. The work was part of an NRC-postdoctoral project led by Marla Holt, and includes Dawn Noren (Adams) and Candice Emmons as internal collaborators. The specific work includes experimental design, data collection, data analysis, and writing for submission to peer-reviewed journals. This is a one-time project, and addresses key risk factors (vessel and noise interactions) of SRKW. Measurements of vocal behavior, whale behavioral states, background noise measurements, vessel counts and other attributes.
