Beluga whale populations are currently being harvested at levels which are not sustainable and it is difficult for those harvesting beluga whales to know which sub-population they are from. [239] Because there is little protection of sub-populations, harvest will need to be managed to ensure sub-populations will survive long into the future to ...
Beluga whales are thought to be more monogamous, whereas narwhals operate under a more polygamous mating system, [13] further differentiating the two socially. Current data on narwhals, beluga whales, and their hybrids is not sufficient to state definitively, but the prevailing thought is that the hybrid would likely not be reproductively ...
