Historical Data Sources on the Morphometry and Oil Yield of the Bowhead Whale
Historical data sources on the bowhead whale (Balaena mysticetus) provide the means to statistically examine the relationships of body and baleen size and oil yield. These data demonstrate a linear relationship between length of the whale and baleen length, with no apparent differences between males...
