(Table 1) Tagging date, total length and sex of bowhead whales (Balaena mysticetus) tagged at Point Barrow, Alaska
Working with subsistence whale hunters, we tagged 19 mostly immature bowhead whales (Balaena mysticetus) with satellite-linked transmitters between May 2006 and September 2008 and documented their movements in the Chukchi Sea from late August through December. From Point Barrow, Alaska, most whales...
