Preliminary analysis of human-induced injury and mortality to cetaceans in Atlantic Canada / D. Themelis, L. Harris, and T. Hayman.: Fs70-5/2016-085E-PDF
"The objectives of this study were to gather information from available data sources on injuries to and mortalities of cetaceans in Atlantic Canadian waters from 2008-2014; identify the cetaceans most commonly reported injured or dead; determine the types of fishing activities that cause the most injuries and mortality; and compare the average annual rate of injury of North Atlantic Right Whale to the Potential Biological Removal (PBR) estimated for this species. Addressing these objectives will help determine the level or risk of threats identified in SARA recovery plans and identify high risk fisheries and vulnerable marine mammals"--p. 1.
