- Abstract:
The article focuses on the threatened humpback whale in the North Pacificregion. From 1908 to 1967, whalers took more than 5,600 humpbacks for their blubber, meat and bone in British Columbian waters alone. Today, the North Pacific population of humpbacks is estimated at more than 20,000. The species is still classified as threatened under Canada's Species at Risk Act.
