Figure 1. Study area delineating the two regions representing core
(Baffin Bay - red) and peripheral (Hudson Bay - blue) beluga whale
populations and the 16 Nunavut, Canada communities where sampling took
place. Darker colours represent summer range that is used to define the
populations.
Figure 2. Comparing frequency of female beluga whale ages (top) and
lengths (bottom) between Baffin Bay (red) and Hudson Bay (blue).
Figure 3. Linear relationship between female ovarian reproductive
activity (ORA) and body length for Baffin Bay (red; ORA = 0.5029 ±
0.0496(length) – 3.749 ± 1.326; r2 = 0.766, p
< 0.001) and Hudson Bay (blue; ORA = 0.3311 ± 0.0367(length)
– 0.1331 ± 1.135; r2 = 0.439, p < 0.001)
beluga whale populations.
