Absolute probability estimates of lethal vessel strikes to North Atlantic right whales in Roseway Basin, Scotian Shelf
van der Hoop, Julie M.; Vanderlaan, Angelia S. M.; Taggart, Christopher T. (2012-10)Vessel strikes are the primary source of known mortality for the endangered North Atlantic right whale (Eubalaena glacialis). Multi-institutional efforts to reduce mortality associated with vessel strikes include vessel-routing ... -
Accelerometer tags: detecting and identifying activities in fish and the effect of sampling frequency
Broell, Franziska; Noda, Takuji; Wright, Serena; Domenici, Paolo; Steffensen, John Fleng; Auclair, Jean-Pierre; Taggart, Christopher T. (2013-04)Monitoring and measuring the behaviour and movement of aquatic animals in the wild is typically challenging, though micro-accelerometer (archival or telemetry) tags now provide the means to remotely identify and quantify ... -
Genomic islands of divergence and their consequences for the resolution of spatial structure in an exploited marine fish
Bradbury, Ian R.; Hubert, Sophie; Higgins, Brent; Bowman, Sharen; Borza, Tudor; Paterson, Ian G.; Snelgrove, Paul V. R.; Morris, Corey J.; Gregory, Robert S.; Hardie, David; Hutchings, Jeffrey A.; Ruzzante, Daniel E.; Taggart, Christopher T.; Bentzen, Paul (2013-04)As populations diverge, genomic regions associated with adaptation display elevated differentiation. These genomic islands of adaptive divergence can inform conservation efforts in exploited species, by refining the ... -

Lipid and gross energy content of North Atlantic right whale food, Calanus finmarchicus, in the Bay of Fundy
Michaud, Josee; Taggart, Christopher T. (2007)We address spatial and temporal distribution of abundance, lipid and caloric content and water column energy density of the copepod Calanus finmarchicus, a major food source for the north Atlantic right whale (NARW) Eubalaena ... -
Probability and mitigation of vessel encounters with North Atlantic right whales
Vanderlaan, Angelia SM; Corbett, James J.; Green, Shannon L.; Callahan, John A.; Wang, Chengfeng; Kenney, Robert D.; Taggart, Christopher T.; Firestone, Jeremy (Inter-Research, Nordbuente 23 Oldendorf/Luhe 21385 Germany, 2009-03)Successful mitigation of vessel-whale encounters requires quantitative estimates of vessel strikes, how strike rates change over time, where strikes are most likely to occur, and options for minimizing strikes. In addressing ... -
Reducing the risk of lethal encounters: vessels and right whales in the Bay of Fundy and on the Scotian Shelf
Vanderlaan, Angelia S. M.; Taggart, Christopher T.; Serdynska, Anna R.; Kenney, Robert D.; Brown, Moira W. (2008)The North Atlantic right whale Eubalaena glacialis is endangered, in part, due to vessel-strike mortality. We use vessel traffic and right whale survey data (similar to 3 nautical miles [n miles], similar to 5.6 km resolution) ...
