- Killer whales (Orcinus orca) in the Canadian Arctic: Distribution, prey items, group sizes, and seasonality (2012, background): “Large salmonid species are consumed and sometimes shared at or near the surface by individuals among fish-eating killer whales in the northeastern Pacific (Ford and Ellis 2006, Hanson et al. 2010), but compared to marine mammals, consumption of fish is likely less obvious to observers.”
- Demographic changes in Chinook salmon across the Northeast Pacific Ocean (2018, background): “Resident killer whales, on the other hand, selectively prey upon Chinook salmon, particularly the oldest and largest individuals (Ford et al., 1998; Hanson et al., 2010; Herman et al., 2005).”
- Social network correlates of food availability in an endangered population of killer whales, Orcinus orca (2012, unknown): “Recent work by Ford & Ellis (2006) and Hanson et al. (2010) shows that from June to September chinook salmon makes up more than 90% of the southern resident killer whales’ diet.”
- Cooperative hunting behavior, prey selectivity and prey handling by pack ice killer whales (Orcinus orca), type B, in Antarctic Peninsula waters (2012, background): “…Pacific, “resident” killer whales take mostly chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) among the six species of salmon available to them, even though it is often one of the least abundant salmon species present (Ford et al. 1998, Ford and Ellis 2006, Ford et al. 2010, Hanson et al. 2010).”
