An integrated approach to historical population assessment of the great whales: case of the New Zealand southern right whale

Creator:: Jackson, Jennifer A., Carroll, Emma L., Smith, Tim D., Zerbini, Alexandre N., Patenaude, Nathalie J., and Baker, C. Scott
Abstract:: Accurate estimation of historical abundance provides an essential baseline for judging the recovery of the great whales. This is particularly challenging for whales hunted prior to twentieth century modern whaling, as population-level catch records are often incomplete. Assessments of whale recovery using pre-modern exploitation indices are therefore rare, despite the...
