Mean percentage of monitored hauls with recorded interactions of killer whales (Orcinus orca) 
with fishery operations across the years of 2001-2016, by fishery and category of observer cover- 
age (full or partial), in the Gulf of Alaska and in the Bering Sea (BS) and Aleutian Islands (AI). 
Fisheries are among those groundfish fisheries defined in the List of Fisheries of the Office of Pro- 
tected Resources, National Marine Fisheries Service. Error bars indicate +1 standard deviation. 
4 of the whales as being from the Alaska resident stock 
and 3 of the whales as being from the Alaska transient 
GOA-BSAI stock. Three resident killer whales died as a 
result of interactions with the BSAI flatfish trawl fishery 
(killed by propeller), and the other resident whale died 
during BSAI Pacific cod longline operations (killed by 
gear). The 3 dead transient whales were killed as a result 
of interactions with the BSAI pollock trawl fishery (all 
killed by gear). Six of the animals killed were listed as 
juveniles of both sexes; the seventh killer whale was an
