Occurrence of the Bowhead or Greenland Right Whale ( Balaena mysticetus ) in Canadian Arctic Waters
The action taken in December 1970 by the U.S. Department of the Interior in placing eight species of large whales on an endangered species list has emphasized the need for up-to-date information on their populations. The present paper summarizes a large number of observations on one of these eight s...
