Abundance estimate of beluga in eastern Hudson Bay and James Bay, summer 2011

Open All Close All

http://schema.org/description

  • "The management of beluga whales hunted around Nunavik relies on the estimation of abundance of summering stocks, including the endangered eastern Hudson Bay stock. Systematic aerial line-transect surveys to estimate abundance of beluga whales were conducted in James Bay and eastern Hudson Bay from 19 July to 18 August 2011. Beluga harvesting by Nunavik Inuit has been managed under the jurisdiction of DFO. The signing of the Nunavik Inuit Land Claims Agreement (NILCA) transferred co-management responsibility to the Nunavik Marine Region Wildlife Board (NMRWB) established under the agreement. In this context, the current study presents abundance indices obtained from systematic line-transect aerial surveys conducted during summer 2011 in James Bay and eastern Hudson Bay.--Document."
