NORTH ATLANTIC RIGHT WHALE (Eubalaena glacialis): Western Stock
Individuals of the western North Atlantic right whale population range from wintering and calving grounds in coastal waters of the southeastern United States to summer feeding and nursery grounds in New England waters and northward to the Bay of Fundy and the Scotian Shelf. Knowlton et al. (1992) re...
