Motivated by the need to estimate the abundance of marine mammal populations to inform
conservation assessments, especially relating to fishery bycatch, this paper provides …

Almost 80% of the oceans, especially the Arctic and Subarctic are primarily inhabited by
marine mammals. Marine species depend mostly on sea ice for food, raising their young …

Two major oceanographic changes have recently propagated through several trophic levels
in coastal areas of Southeast Greenland (SEG). Firstly, the amount of drift‐ice exported from …

The sperm whale lives in most deep ice-free waters of the globe. It was targeted during two
periods of whaling peaking in the 1840's and 1960's. Using a habitat suitability model, we …

In this study, we assess prey consumption by the marine mammal community in the
northeast Atlantic [including 21 taxa, across three regions:(I) the Icelandic shelf, Denmark …

Biophysical changes in marine ecosystems of the Arctic and subarctic sectors of the Atlantic
and Pacific are now evident, driven primarily by sea ice loss, ocean warming and increases …

In the early 1990s, the high bycatch of harbour porpoise in gillnet fisheries in the North and
Celtic Seas prompted researchers from Range States to develop a project to survey these …

The highly productive waters off Iceland are an important feeding ground for baleen whales.
Five balaenopterid species coexist there during the summer feeding season: the blue whale …

It is generally recognized that large-scale whaling in the 19th and 20th century led to a
substantial reduction of the size of many cetacean populations, particularly those of the …

Climate change is one of the top three global threats to seabirds, particularly species that
visit polar regions. Arctic terns migrate between both polar regions annually and rely on …
