Background/Motivation
• North Pacific Blue whales (B. musculus) were exploited commercially from 1905-1971
• Endangered, but no assessment due in part to conflated catches
Themes:• 2 Stocks: the eastern (ENP) and western (WNP)
based on morphological¹ and acoustic² analyses• Uncertainty: date, location, statistical, ecological

GAM Models• AIC supports beta-binomial and GAM• GAMLSS [Rigby & Stasinopoulos 2002] in R• Separate models for ENP and WNP of form:
logit p cs(Long) cs(Lat) Monthlog cs(Long) cs(Lat) Month
The model predicts: the probability of observing a call at a given location/month in an hour. or ENP WNPp p

Conclusions
1.This approach splits the catches and tries to accurately quantify the uncertainty
2.With more data, the ecological assumptions could be tested. But sensitivity analyses are best option.
3.It allows assessment of ENP (chapter 2!)…and maybe WNP in the future
