Undersøkelser av vågehval i Barentshavet og ved Øst- og VestGrønland i 1973
Observations of marine mammals were recorded and are tabulated. Observations of humpback whales indicate an increasing number in the eastern part of the North Atlantic. Material and data from minke whales were sampled from 120 whales (30% males) in the Barents Sea in May—June, 38 whales (66% males)...

Observations of marine mammals were recorded and are tabulated. Observations of humpback whales indicate an increasing number in the eastern part of the North Atlantic.

The mean length of the minke whales in the Barents Sea was smaller than of those caught off West Greenland.
