Genetic assessment for discrimination of beluga whales in Cumberland Sound.: Fs70-6/2022-056E-PDF

"Cumberland Sound beluga (Delphinapterus leucas) are currently managed as a distinct stock based on genetic analyses and limited telemetry data. Telemetry data have shown that animals from the stock reside year-round in the sound, migrating into Clearwater Fiord in summer and to open water polynyas at the mouth of the sound in winter"--Context, page [1].
