The Great South Channel region contains unusually abundant                 populations of three endangered whale species: right, humpback and              fin whales.  The South Channel Ocean Productivity Experiment                    (SCOPEX) will look at the physical oceanographic and                            biological/ecological mechanisms responsible for these aggregations.            Using both aerial and ship-based surveys, the distribution and                  abundance of right whales in the region will be determined.                     Detailed distributional and behavioral observations of these                    animals, including data from intensive sonar and radio-tagging                  studies will provide tests of hypotheses on how the aggregations                form and are maintained.  A model of the energetics of right whales             with regard to r=feeding and diving behavior will be analyzed.
