"Water temperature: 4 C. A Pacific white-sided dolphin : Lagenorhynchus obliquidens was observed early in the morning on 2/5/98 on the northeast side of Auke Bay outside of the NMFS Auke Bay Laboratory at 58.22.52 N and -134.38.42W. When first observed, the dolphin was surfacing near the lab's salt water intake markers which are located less than 100m offshore at 58.22.52 N and -134.38.42 W. By mid-morning, the dolphin was observed following a longline fishing vessel out of Auke Bay Harbor. It then followed another vessel back towards the harbor this time making multiple jumps into the air. Around 1200, the dolphin was seen heading south of the harbor along the west side of Auke Bay. The dolphin was out of sight and has not been observed by employees at the lab since."--Noele Weemes <Noele.Weemes@noaa.gov>
