Lipid and gross energy content of North Atlantic right whale food, Calanus finmarchicus, in the Bay of Fundy
(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 ...
Absolute probability estimates of lethal vessel strikes to North Atlantic right whales in Roseway Basin, Scotian Shelf
(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
(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
(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 ...
Probability and mitigation of vessel encounters with North Atlantic right whales
(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
(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) ...
