Description:

"The primary objective of the Stenella Abundance Research Line Transect and Ecosystem (STAR-LITE) cruise was to investigate spatial and temporal variability and line-transect methodologies in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean. The project used a multidisciplinary approach. Data on cetacean distribution, school size and school composition were collected to determine cetacean density. Oceanographic data were collected to characterize habitat and its variation over time. Data on distribution and abundance of seabirds, flyingfish, and marine turtles collected will further characterize the ecosystem. Skin biopsies of cetaceans provide a database for investigations of stock structure and phylogenetic relationships. Photographs document geographic variation in dolphins and distribution of individual large whales. This project was related to a series of research cruises that have been repeated periodically in the ETP since the 1970s. Recently, a five-year series of cruises was conducted from 1986-1990 (Monitoring of Porpoise Stocks) and a three-year series was conducted from 1998 through 2000 (STAR: Stenella Abundance Research) with additional single-year cruises completed in 2003 and 2006"--P. 6.
