Biological parameters in a declining population of narwhals (Monodon monoceros) in Scoresby Sound, Southeast Greenland

Biological parameters in a declining population of narwhals (Monodon monoceros) in Scoresby Sound, Southeast Greenland

A decreasing trend in narwhal (Monodon monoceros Linnaeus, 1758) abundance has been identified in a small population in Scoresby Sound, Southeast Greenland. We hypothesize that excessive hunting has affected life history and population dynamics of this population. Biological information and samples...
