Abundance estimates from 2016 and 2017 were taken from the 2016 National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration marine mammal stock assessment [@Hayes2017] and an unpublished 2017 stock assessment. +The North Atlantic right whale abundance estimates were taken from a published document [see @Linden_pop_2023]. -Calves birth estimates are taken from a published report [@narw2019] put out yearly by the North American Right Whale Consortium. +Calves birth estimates are available in @Pace2017, with more recent years shared [here](https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/gallery/north-atlantic-right-whale-calving-season-archive). ### Data extraction Data were collected from existing reports and validated by report authors. ### Data analysis -Analysis for right whale abundance estimates is provided by @Pace2017, and code can be found in the [supplemental materials](https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/action/downloadSupplement?doi=10.1002%2Fece3.3406&file=ece33406-sup-0001-SupInfo.docx). +Analysis for right whale abundance estimates is based on methods by @Pace2017, as documented most recently by @Linden_pop_2023. Data and code can be found in the following Github repository: [NEFSC/PSD-NARW_popsize](https://github.com/NEFSC/PSD-NARW_popsize). ### Data processing -Time series of right whale and calf abundance estimates were formatted for inclusion in the `ecodata` R package using this R [code](https://github.com/NOAA-EDAB/ecodata/blob/master/data-raw/get_narw.R). - -**catalog link** - \ No newline at end of file +Time series of right whale and calf abundance estimates were formatted for inclusion in the `ecodata` R package using this R [code](https://github.com/NOAA-EDAB/ecodata/blob/master/data-raw/get_narw.R). \ No newline at end of file
