Population Dynamics and Social Organisation of Humpback Whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) - a Long-term Study in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Canada
The stock of humpback whales in the Gulf of St. Lawrence (GSL) was severely depleted by whaling in the 18th and 19th century and started to recover later in the 20th century than other stocks in the North Atlantic. A long-term study of humpback whales by the Mingan Island Cetacean Study in the GSL,...
