Pathology findings and correlation with body condition index in stranded killer whales (Orcinus orca) in the northeastern Pacific and Hawaii from 2004 to 2013
Fig 1
Morphometric measurements taken from stranded killer whales at necropsy to assess body condition.
Total straight body length (solid line above whale), girth at the anterior insertion of the dorsal fin (solid line) and blubber thickness measured with a ruler at three sites: dorsal (red), lateral (dark blue), and ventral (light blue) are shown.
