The number of individual whale shark Rhincodon typus sightings registered October 2015-March 2018 in Bahia de La Paz, Mexico, ranged from 73 to 129 animals per season (total 1662), with the majority of them identified as males. Density plot maps showed high correlations in sightings between sample seasons and revealed potential hotspot areas. Our study provides an essential baseline of information for the management of whale shark conservation and the associated touristic activities in the region.
2015 年 10 月至 2018 年 3 月在墨西哥拉巴斯湾（Bahia de La Paz）登记的个体鲸鲨（Rhincodon typus）目击数量每季度在 73 至 129 只之间（总数为 1662 只），其中大多数为雄性。密度图显示了样本季节之间目击事件的高度相关性，并揭示了潜在的热点区域。本研究为该地区的鲸鲨保护和相关旅游活动的管理提供了重要的基础信息。
