Authors Summary
SC/69B/ASW/02 Rev1 gives details of the subsistence harvest of bowhead whales (Balaena mysticetus) by Alaskan Natives during 2023. In 2023, 55 bowhead whales (Balaena mysticetus) were struck during the Alaskan aboriginal subsistence hunt, of which 45 were landed. The total number of whales struck and the number landed in 2023 was slightly lower than the averages for the previous 10 years (2013-2022: mean struck = 58.5, SD = 10.9 and mean landed = 46, SD = 8.41; respectively).
