Beaufort Sea beluga satellite tagging program
Principal Investigator: Richard, Pierre
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: Beluga whales will be herded into shallow waters with boats and kept there for a short period of time. Whale size and sex will be determined and a small sample of skin will be taken for DNA analysis. Satellite tags will be attached to the dorsal ridge area of ten whales. These tags will allow the researchers to locate the whales' movements and diving patterns over the next several months....

International conservation strategy for the endangered bowhead whale of Baffin Bay.
Principal Investigator: Finley, Kerry J.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1992
Summary: Since 1983, Word Wildlife Fund has supported research on the bowhead of Isabella Bay. This research, representing the first ever conducted on this species, has identified Isabella Bay to be one of the most important habitats for bowhead in the eastern arctic. The whales use the area to feed, socialize and shelter them from killer whales. The researcher will continue his study of bowhead behavi...

Monitoring Movements and Dive Habits of Bowhead Whales Through Satellite Monitoried Radio Tags
Principal Investigator: Mate, Bruce R.
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991
Summary: The Researchers will once again attempt to tag 12 bowhead whales. They will study how the whales move about during the feeding season and where and when they migrate west out of the Beaufort Sea. They will determine whether the migratory routes or timing vary between different kinds of animals and will determine the dive habits of the tagged animals....
