- Abstract
The article presents a critique of the article "Captive killer whale (orcinus orca) survival" by Jett and Ventre. The critic declares inappropriate the inclusion of data of stranded animals without information on the nature of stranding nor the health of the animal postranding, the direct comparison between captive and wild animal survival, and the comparisons of age-specific population survivorship using visual estimation of Kaplan-Meier curves.
