Abstract

There is a substantial hunt of white-beaked dolphins in Labrador. Harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena are entrapped in salmon nets. Belugas Delphinapterus leucas are hunted, but the take seems insignificant. A population estimate of 3486 white-beaked dolphins was obtained using strip census data taken during a 2-wk period in August. -from Authors
