RATE OF INCREASE, 1978–1988, OF BOWHEAD WHALES, BALAENA MYSTICETUS , ESTIMATED FROM ICE‐BASED CENSUS DATA

A bstract The number of bowhead whales, Balaena mysticetus , passing within viewing range of the ice‐based census at Point Barrow, Alaska, during spring migrations from 1978 to 1988 is estimated from the visual census data. The trend in the annual numbers yields an estimated rate of increase of 3.1%...
