Impact of the 2015 narwhal (Monodon monoceros) entrapment on the Eclipse Sound narwhal stock .: Fs70-6/2018-012E-PDF
"An entrapment occurred near Pond Inlet in 2015, where at least 249 narwhals died. This was seven years after the previous large entrapment of 2008 near Pond Inlet where 629 narwhal were harvested. The present analysis is in response to a request for DFO Science to determine how this entrapment event impacts the Eclipse Sound stock. Specific questions include: should the Total Allowable Landed Catches (TALC) be changed to account for mortality from this event, and how will the abundance of the Eclipse Sound stock change if entrapments of this magnitude become more frequent"--Introd., p. 2.
