July 3, 2019: The BpJAM<\/em> is back at sea for the 2019 field season, with the same crew as last year.<\/p>\n

The foggy morning forces us to stay docked: it\u2019s hard enough to locate a herd in the fog, much less track it or to get a good sense of \u200b\u200bthe general behaviour of the belugas. Might as well take advantage of the \u201cbad weather\u201d to catch up on our office work.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s early afternoon and the fog is dissipating from the waters of the Saguenay-St. Lawrence Marine Park. If we move quickly enough, we still have time before dark to go look for belugas. After searching for a half hour or so, we find a group of belugas downstream of \u00cele Rouge, about mid-channel and off the coast of Baie-Sainte-Catherine. The herd numbers around forty white and grey individuals. Among them is DL1235, which GREMM has been tracking since 1990.<\/p>\n

The group is rather difficult to approach, sometimes swimming in multiple directions, sometimes \u201cmilling\u201d, i.e. diving repeatedly and resurfacing at the same place. The behaviour displayed by these belugas is rather interesting. On the surface, the animals actively swim, spit and vocalize.<\/p>\n

After two hours of taking photo-ID pictures to update our \u201cfamily album\u201d, we decide to launch the drone to get a better idea of \u200b\u200bwhat\u2019s going on under the surface.<\/p>\n

First we observe sociosexual behaviours: pelvic thrusts, rubbing, etc. Then, what was hard to document from the boat becomes obvious: for the first time, we have a bird\u2019s eye view of belugas hunting for fish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
