5203 |a"Bigg's killer whales have been photo-identified in British Columbia for decades. This report uses a 67-year archive of photo-identification data from 1958-2024 to first examine trends in data collection, occurrence and discovery of unique Bigg's killer whales within the province. In total, 945 individuals known from BC, 571 of which were alive in 2024, were photo-identified during 10,390 encounters between California and Alaska. The overall number of encounters and individuals identified each year increased steadily during the study period. Secondly, three criteria including number of years since last documented, total number of encounters and years documented were used to define a subset of individuals in the threatened West Coast Transient population, which due to their preferences for coastal waters is most likely to be impacted by human activities. This coastal subset (CS) included 385 individuals of which 243 were sexually mature in 2024. Third, by including known and assumed deceased kin, growth for the CS was retrospectively calculated at an average annual rate of 1.9% between 2019 and 2024 and 2.9% between 1994 and 2024. Finally, identification images of the left and right sides of dorsal fins, saddle patches and eyepatches for each CS individual alive to date in 2025 are provided along with information on birth years, sex, maternal ancestry and social cohesion"--Abstract, page iv.
