(Table 1) Observations of bowhead whales (Balaena mysticetus) in the Svalbard area 1940-2008 ...
Forty-six sightings of bowhead whales have been reported from the Svalbard area between 1940 and 2009. But, only three of these sightings are reported prior to 1980. Most observations involve only one or two whales, but groups of up to seven individuals have been seen recently. Increased ship traffi...
