Catch statistics for beluga (Delphinapterus leucas) harvested from the eastern high Arctic - Baffin Bay and Cumberland Sound populations from 1977-2020 / by Cortney A. Watt. : Fs97-6/3444E-PDF

"Catch statistics from 1977-2020 for 12 Canadian communities that hunt belugas from the Eastern High Arctic - Baffin Bay beluga population and one community that hunts from the Cumberland Sound beluga population are summarized. Struck and loss corrections of 0.41 and 0.36 are applied to the Eastern High Arctic - Baffin Bay and Cumberland Sound beluga catches respectively, to estimate total whales removed from the populations each year. Seasonal harvests are also summarized based on reported harvests and data from an ongoing, collaborative sampling program between Hunters and Trappers Associations and Organizations in Nunavut, and Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Science. The majority of beluga whales in both populations are harvested in the summer months (July-September). These results can be used for data modelling purposes and thereby provide more reliable estimates for sustainable hunt management advice"--Abstract, page vi.
