At last! GREMM\u2019s 2019 field season is officially underway. This first week was devoted to Fisheries and Oceans Canada\u2019s tagging project in which we are collaborating in the field. This initiative aims to better understand the acoustic life of belugas, their movements and behavioural responses during and after noise exposure and the effect that noise has on their diet.<\/p>\n

But the weather cooperated only on Thursday! Nevertheless, it was a productive day.<\/p>\n

After spending the morning in search of groups of males in the downstream sectors of the Saguenay-St. Lawrence Marine Park, we decide to change course and try our luck farther upstream by heading toward Rivi\u00e8re-du-Loup.<\/p>\n

Around 12:30, not far from the \u201cBrandy Pot\u201d islands (\u00celes du Pot \u00e0 l\u2019Eau-de-Vie), we encounter a multitude of birds that frequent this area this time of year (razorbills, murres, night-herons, great blue herons, etc.). And below, our first group of belugas of 2019!\u00a0 It\u2019s a small group of about fifteen white and grey individuals engaged in what we call \u201cmilling\u201d. Milling is a near-stationary swim during which belugas make deep dives and resurface in practically the same place. This behaviour is believed to be associated with feeding.<\/p>\n

One of the belugas looks familiar. We recognize it when it dives: it\u2019s DL9095, which we\u2019ve nicknamed \u201cMoignon<\/a>\u201d, which mean \u00abstump\u00bb in French! We first encountered Moignon in August 2018 off the coast of Trois-Pistoles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
