BELUGA WHALE, Delphinapterus leucas: Cook Inlet Population - Critically Endangered
Population Identity: Based on studies of mitochondrial DNA, Cook Inlet belugas are genetically distinct from the other four beluga populations that occur in western and northern Alaska (O’Corry-Crowe et al. 1997; O’Corry-Crowe, pers. comm.). There have been only two beluga sightings recorded in the region between Cook Inlet and the nearest beluga population in Bristol Bay (Frost and Lowry 1990;...

متن کاملConcentrations of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB’s), Chlorinated Pesticides, and Heavy Metals and Other Elements in Tissues of Belugas, Delphinapterus leucas, from Cook Inlet, Alaska
Tissues from Cook Inlet beluga whales, Delphinapterus leucas, that were collected as part of the Alaska Marine Mammal Tissue Archival Project were ana lyzed for polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB’s), chlorinated pesticides, and heavy metals and other elements. Concentrations of total PCB’s (∑PCB’s), total DDT (∑DDT), chlor dane compounds, hexachlorobenzene (HCB), dieldrin, mirex, toxaphene, and h...
متن کاملBaroclinic tidal flows and inundation processes in Cook Inlet, Alaska: numerical modeling and satellite observations
A wetting and drying (WAD) algorithm is implemented in a baroclinic three-dimensional ocean circulation model of Cook Inlet, Alaska, where large tidal ranges (≈10 m) regularly expose extensive mudflats. The model includes tides and windand buoyancy-induced flows. In the upper Inlet, the model successfully simulates large amplification of tides and propagation of fast (3∼4 m s) tidal bores over ...
متن کاملEstimated Abundance of Belugas, Delphinapterus Leucas, in Cook Inlet, Alaska, from Aerial Surveys Conducted in June
The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) conducted aerial surveys of the beluga, Delphinapterus leucas, population in Cook Inlet, Alaska, 31 May 9 June 2011 as a continuum of surveys conducted since 1993. Eight of the days in 2011 resulted in complete surveys of the beluga habitat in the upper inlet (north of East Foreland and West Foreland); and the remaining two days included surveys of t...
