Table 3.

Details of fishing gear entanglements whose drag forces were measured (= 15). Sightings data provided the minimum and maximum entanglement periods (days), individual fate (S = survived; D = died), and age at entanglement (years) for all whales, from which we estimated length and mass from Moore et al. (2004)
