• Effectiveness of mandatory vessel speed limits for protecting North Atlantic right whales (2014, background): “The principal threats to its survival — vessel collisions and entanglement in fishing gear (Knowlton & Kraus 2001, Moore et al. 2004, Knowlton et al. 2012, van der Hoop et al. 2013) — are the main constraints to its recovery (Kraus et al. 2005, National Marine Fish- eries Service 2005).”
• Status of the world's baleen whales (2016, background): “Bycatch has known population-level consequences for North Atlantic right whales (Johnson et al. 2007, Knowlton et al. 2012) and the western North Pacific subpopulation of gray whales (Weller et al. 2002, 2008) and it has been inferred to be the primary threat to the Arabian Sea subpopulation of…”
• Estimating body mass of free‐living whales using aerial photogrammetry and 3D volumetrics (2019, background): “…al., 2012) and the North Pacific (Lockyer, 1976; Omura et al., 1969; Atlantic right whales (Figure 5) is likely a reflection of their poorer body condition caused by high exposure to anthropogenic stressors (Knowlton, Hamilton, Marx, Pettis, & Kraus, 2012; Moore et al., 2004; Rolland et al., 2016).”
• Whales from space: Four mysticete species described using new VHR satellite imagery (2018, background): “1 important for whale populations recovering from historical harvests (Clapham and Baker 2002, Reeves and Smith 2003), and those influenced by anthropogenic impacts, including ship strikes (e.g., fin whales, Balaenoptera physalus; Laist et al. 2001, IWC 2011, Vaes and Druon 2013) and fishing gear en”
• Population comparison of right whale body condition reveals poor state of the North Atlantic right whale (2020, background): “While fishing gear entanglements and ship strikes are the largest direct anthropogenic threats to the NARW population (Moore et al. 2004, Knowlton et al. 2012, van der Hoop et al. 2013, Kraus et al. 2016), reduced reproductive rate resulting from nutritional stress (i.e. poor body condition) has…”
• Health of North Atlantic right whales Eubalaena glacialis over three decades: from individual health to demographic and population health trends (2016, background): “As 83% of NA right whales have been entangled in fishing gear at least once, and 15.5% of the population is entangled annually (Knowlton et al. 2012), it is crucial to understand whether this perturbation results in population level impacts.”
• Deleterious Effects of Litter on Marine Life (2015, background): “However, Knowlton et al. (2012) reported that among a known number of 626 photo-identified individuals of the North Atlantic right whale (Eubalaena glacialis), 83 % showed evidence of entanglements in ropes and nets.”
• Marine mammal bycatch in gillnet and other entangling net fisheries, 1990 to 2011 (2013, background): “In a recent authoritative global review of pinniped conservation problems (Kovacs et al. 2012), bycatch was identified as a primary threat to the Critically Endangered Saimaa ringed seal Pusa hispida saimensis and as an ‘acute threat’ to 3 Endangered taxa — the Australian sea lion Neophoca cinerea,…”
