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.
