Text Appearing Before Image: 1997 Cosens, Qamukaq, Parker, Dueck and Anardjuak: Bowhead Whales 387 Text Appearing After Image: Figure 5. Boat-based sightings of Bowhead Whales made by local hunters and the authors. The Bowhead on the west side of Fury and Hecla Strait, at 69°52'N 83°18'W, was seen by a helicopter crew en route to Igloolik. seen. Information on the age structure of this stock should be collected to determine whether all compo- nents of the stock are present in northern Foxe Basin during the summer. Bowheads were also present in northern Hudson Bay at the time of our surveys in Foxe Basin (Robert Luke, personal communication), thus our estimate did not include all animals present in northern Hudson Bay and Foxe Basin. Although northern Hudson Bay and Foxe Basin Bowheads are consid- ered to be one stock, (see Reeves and Mitchell 1990), additional research is required to clarify stock relationships so that census results can be properly interpreted and management units identified.

Polar Continental Shelf Project supplied aircraft support. The Science Institute of the Northwest Territories provided accommodations and laboratory space that was greatly appreciated. We thank the pilots of Bradley Air for their patience and help during the sur- veys. We also thank the hunters of Igloolik and Hall Beach for their sighting records and discussions about migration routes that were instrumental in directing survey efforts. The project was conducted under Scientific Research Licence Number 12690N from the Science Institute of the Northwest Territories. Stu Innes and Keith Hay provided valuable comments on an earlier version of this manuscript. The manuscript was greatly improved thanks to the comments made by three anonymous reviewers.
