Habitats important to blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus) in the western North Atlantic / Véronique Lesage ... [et al.]. : Fs70-5/2016-080E-PDF
“Blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus) in the northwest Atlantic are considered endangered under the Species at Risk Act. Lack of data precluded the identification of critical habitat in the Recovery Strategy published in 2010, which instead included a schedule of studies that, when completed, would allow critical habitat to be identified. After five years of intensive studies, we provide here a review of the available information and current state of knowledge regarding habitats important for Northwest Atlantic blue whales. This information comes from: whaling catch records, photo-identification studies, land, aerial and ship-board surveys, passive acoustic monitoring, satellite and radio telemetry, ice entrapment reports, opportunistic sighting reports, and species distribution modelling"--Abstract, p. iii.
