Cover title. "Pacific Region." "July 2018." Includes bibliographical references (p. 17-22). "Fin Whale distribution and habitat use in northern waters of British Columbia (BC) were investigated using a multi-scale study approach based on data collected by Fisheries and Oceans Canada’s Marine Mammal Research Section. Ship-based survey data were used to model Fin Whale distribution as a function of habitat features in Hecate Strait and Queen Charlotte Sound and the results indicate that Moresby Trough and Greater Caamaño Sound were predicted to have the highest densities of whales. Photo-identification data were used to assess movement and site-fidelity of individual Fin Whales, and to estimate abundance"--Abstract, p. vii.
