Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes & presents results from aerial systematic line transect surveys of beluga whales, Delphinapterus leucas, conducted in James Bay & eastern Hudson Bay from 7 August to 1 September 2001, and from coastal surveys conducted while in transit to the transect lines. Beluga abundance is estimated using a line transect method. The final section discusses such issues as population trends, limitations of the survey data, and problems in conducting the survey.

Book Update to the Proportion of Eastern Hudson Bay Beluga Harvested and Implications for Harvest Allocations in Nunavik

Download or read book Update to the Proportion of Eastern Hudson Bay Beluga Harvested and Implications for Harvest Allocations in Nunavik written by and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The updated information indicated that the proportion of EHB beluga whales taken in the Ungava Bay spring hunt declined from the 10% used in the plan to 8.8%, while the proportion in the Hudson Strait spring hunt increased from the 10% used in the plan to 11.7%, and from 20% to 23.6% in the Hudson Strait fall hunt (Tables 1 and 2). [...] If the 2016 harvest is 98 whales, and the seasonal pattern is the same as in 2014 and 2015, then the estimated total number of EHB belugas harvested by Sanikiluaq hunters would be (4.7 + 2.3) = 7 animals over the life of the 2014-2017 management plan, not the 18 animals as originally assumed. [...] Estimated seasonal breakdown of reported beluga harvest from Sanikiluaq, assuming that the distribution of harvest effort is the same as the proportion of sample kits returned by hunters, and the estimated total number of belugas harvested. [...] Based on the reported 2014 and 2015 harvests and assuming that the seasonal distribution of the overall harvest is the same as the distribution of the skin sampling program, then 83% of the animals are harvested between April 1 to June 30 harvests, and 2.8% of these are EHB beluga whales. [...] Adding in the estimated 6 EHB beluga whales removed in 2014-2015 in Sanikiluaq, results in removal estimates of 8 to 16 EHB belugas over the life of the plan (Tables 5 and 6).

Download or read book A Little Less Arctic written by Steven H. Ferguson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-05-30 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Arctic Canada, Hudson Bay is a site of great exploration history, aboriginal culture, and a vast marine wilderness supporting large populations of marine mammals and birds. These include some of the most iconic Arctic animals like beluga, narwhal, bowhead whales, and polar bears. Due to the challenges of conducting field research in this region, some of the mysteries of where these animals move, and how they are able to survive in such seemingly inhospitable, ice-choked habitats are just now being unlocked. For example, are polar bears being replaced by killer whales? This new information could not be more salient, as the Hudson Bay Region is undergoing rapid environmental change due to global warming, as well as increased pressures from industrial development interests. A Little Less Arctic brings together some of the world’s leading Arctic scientists to present the current state of knowledge on the physical and biological characteristics of Hudson Bay.
