This research is part of the Icelandic Orca Project
(www.icelandic-orcas.com), an ongoing long-term research project
dedicated to studying the killer whales that occur in Icelandic
waters. The catalogue is the result of dedicated research by the
project and includes acoustic recordings conducted between 2008 and
2016 in Vestmannaeyjar and Snæfellsnes. It aims to provide the first
detailed description of the Icelandic killer whale call repertoire
to provide insights into the acoustic behaviour of this population
and facilitate comparisons with other regions.
