It&#8217;s not the numbers, but the make-up of the mortalities that worries scientists. This year, there were 8 adults and 6 young, namely 4 newborns and 2 very young animals whose age will have to be specified by analyzing their teeth this winter, but the size of which suggests that they are newborns or first-year calves. Of the adults, 7 females were found, including a young lactating female who had given birth last year and another who had calved two or three weeks earlier, judging by the condition of her uterus.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A grim picture<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Since 1983, sustained efforts have been made to monitor beluga mortality thanks to an extensive network of collaborators. At a conference in Tadoussac last August, pathologist Dr. St\u00e9phane Lair from the Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al&#8217;s faculty of veterinary medicine (FMV) presented an overview of 514 documented mortalities, including 319 necropsies completed in the laboratory.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_21861\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21861\" style=\"width: 373px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/baleinesendirect.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/109-Beluga-Necropsy-All-Robert-Galbraith.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-21861\" src=\"http:\/\/baleinesendirect.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/109-Beluga-Necropsy-All-Robert-Galbraith.jpg\" alt=\"N\u00e9cropsie de b\u00e9luga \u00e0 la FMV \u00a9 Robert Galbraith\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-21861\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Beluga necropsy at the FMV \u00a9 Robert Galbraith<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>While in the early 2000s, there was concern about the prevalence of cancer in adults \u2013 up to 27% of mortalities were caused by this disease, especially in the digestive system \u2013 since 2010, it is the increased mortality of newborns and females that are pregnant or that have just calved that is alarming to researchers.<\/p>\n<p>According to Dr. Lair, many of these deaths are related to complications that arise around birth. Either the female is too weak to give birth or provide care for her young, or the calf is too weak to extricate itself or to survive in the days following birth. He also stresses that a disturbance at the time of calving could have the same effect and lead to the same consequences.<\/p>\n<p>Diverse assumptions have been put forth by the scientific community to explain the mortality occurrences. It&#8217;s impossible for now to pinpoint a single cause. Potential issues include disturbance, the growing presence of PBDEs in the environment, changing environmental conditions such as a significant fluctuation in the herring stocks that belugas prey on, and sub-optimal ice conditions for the year-round residents that require specific conditions in the winter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>An endangered population<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_21862\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21862\" style=\"width: 399px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/baleinesendirect.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/BLV120801_1218.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-21862 \" src=\"http:\/\/baleinesendirect.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/BLV120801_1218.jpg\" alt=\"B\u00e9lugas, femelle et jeune \u00a9 GREMM\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-21862\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Belugas, female\u00a0and young\u00a0\u00a9 GREMM<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Last September, the Canadian government officially announced a change in the status of the belugas of the St. Lawrence Estuary from &#8220;threatened&#8221; to &#8220;endangered.&#8221; Moreover, earlier this month, as part of Rendez-vous Saint-Laurent 2016, V\u00e9ronique Lesage, a researcher from the Maurice Lamontagne Institute, recalled the disturbing findings of her research on the beluga population: the most recent population survey reported fewer than 900 whales and the population is declining by an average of 1% per year. With regard to the change in status, Robert Michaud, president of the Group for Research and Education on Marine Mammals (GREMM), explains that in concrete terms, the level of the protection will not be raised and that the beluga was, as a threatened species, well protected under current laws.\u00a0However, he believes that, politically, recognizing that the beluga situation has deteriorated is a step in the right direction.<\/p>\n<p>Will the belugas disappear? Why is the population not recovering?
