Biological Consequences Sample Clauses

Biological Consequences. The direct biological consequence of this alternative would be the removal of one (1) adult whale from this population. With this harvest, the impact would be negligible and would not delay the rate at which the CI beluga whale stock would recover. Removing one whale as a result of a subsistence harvest would still result in a 22 year period for the stock to recover to the lower level of OSP. Therefore, the biological consequences would not be distinguishable from the no-harvest regime in Alternative 1.

Biological Consequences. Alternative 1 has few direct biological effects. A harvest would not occur and whales would not be removed from this population by hunting in 2000. Several indirect biological effects have been identified as a possible result of selecting Alternative 1. The lack of CI beluga whales taken in subsistence harvest by Alaskan Natives might place additional hunting pressure on other marine mammal stocks in Cook Inlet. Of these other marine mammals, only the harbor seal occurs regularly in upper Cook Inlet and increased harvest for subsistence uses would be expected. Similarly, there may be increased pressure on the harvest of beluga whales from other stocks throughout Alaska. The stock considered most likely as an alternative source of beluga whale muktuk for those living in the Cook Inlet region would be from Bristol Bay because of its proximity and ease of shipping to Anchorage. The muktuk from one beluga whale harvested in Bristol Bay was delivered to the Anchorage Native community in 1999. That whale had been incidentally caught in a fishing net and was sent to a local hunter who then distributed it to Alaskan Natives in both Tyonek and Anchorage. In another instance, muktuk from a beluga whale taken in October 1999 on the Naknek River was subsequently sold in Anchorage. Some level of importation of beluga whale products into the Cook Inlet region may be expected. The four other Alaskan beluga stocks are currently healthy and could support an additional small level of harvest. However, the subsistence use of these stocks is managed through an agreement between NMFS and the Alaska Beluga Whale Committee, who would address any management or village concerns associated with this trade. Without a beluga whale harvest additional subsistence take of waterfowl and fish in the region may occur. However, it is difficult to predict whether or not there would be an increased harvest of other subsistence species. Traditional Native foods consist of a variety of things that are not necessarily equivalent on a pound-for-pound basis (i.e, beluga muktuk would not be replaced by a pound of fish or seal). Therefore, there may be little interest among hunters in harvesting more of these other resources than they currently do. Also, the amount of these resources harvested is determined in part by their availability, which is not expected to change. Despite the loss of the opportunity to harvest beluga whales, Alaskan Natives would be expected to continue to utilize Cook Inlet f...
