Observations of live Gray's beaked whales <i>(Mesoplodon grayi)</i> in Mahurangi Harbour, North Island, New Zealand, with a summary of at‐sea sightings
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Apair of free‐swimming Gray's beaked whales, Mesoplodon grayi , an adult female and a calf, were observed in Mahurangi Harbour, near Warkworth, on the North Island of New Zealand, over 5 consecutive days in June 2001. Beaked whales (family Ziphiidae) are seldom seen at sea due to their oceanic distribution, deep diving ability, elusive behaviour, and possible low abundance. Gray's beaked whale is the most common beaked whale species to strand in New Zealand but observations of live animals in these waters are rare. Colour pattern and behaviour of these little known cetaceans are described. Although both animals appeared to be in good condition, the adult female had a series of deep corrugated scars behind her dorsal fin, likely the result of a ship strike. Other at‐sea sightings of this species from International Whaling Commission (IWC)—International Decade of Cetacean Research (IDCR) minke whale assessment cruises and IWC—Southern Ocean Whale and Ecosystem Research (SOWER) circumpolar cruises are summarised. A cluster of sightings to the south‐west of the Chatham Islands may indicate the existence of a “hotspot” for M. grayi in the New Zealand region.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
