Influence of boat tourism on the behaviour of Solovetskiy beluga whales ( Delphinapterus leucas) in Onega Bay, the White Sea
Abstract The influence of boat tourism on the beluga whale Delphinapterus leucas in the White Sea, Russia, was studied based on regular observations of belugas near the Solovetskiy Islands from 1995 to 2015. Changes in beluga behaviour, which were affected both by the distance between the boats and...
