Assessment of the Bering-Chukchi-Beaufort Seas Stock of Bowhead Whales with Updated Abundance and Trend Data
In its 1994 assessment of the Bering-Chukchi-Beaufort Seas stock of bowhead whales, the Scientific Committee agreed to use a stock abundance estimate based on data from 1988 because the estimate from the more recent 1993 data was preliminary at that time. Analyses of these recent data have now been...
