THE DISTRIBUTION OF BOWHEAD WHALES, BALAENA MYSTICETUS , IN THE CHUKCHI SEA
A bstract Under a U.S.‐U.S.S.R. cooperative Marine Mammal Project, shipboard cruises were made in 1979, 1980 and 1982, primarily to determine whether there is a substock of western Arctic bowhead whales ( Balaena mysticetus ) that summers in the western Chukchi Sea instead of migrating to the Beaufo...
