The Bowhead Whale: Balaena mysticetus: Biology and Human
Interactions covers bowhead biology from their anatomy and
behavior, to conservation, distribution, ecology and evolution. The
book also discusses the biological and physical aspects of the
Arctic ecosystem in which these whales live, with careful attention
paid to the dramatic changes taking place. A special section of the
book describes the interactions of humans with bowheads in past and
present, focusing on their importance to Indigenous communities and
the challenges regarding entanglement in fishing gear, industrial
noise and ship strikes. This volume brings together the knowledge
of bowheads in one place for easy reference for scientists that
study the species, marine mammal biologists, but, equally
important, for everyone who is interested in the Arctic.
