• Consumption impacts by marine mammals, fish, and seabirds on the Gulf of Maine–Georges Bank Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) complex during the years 1977–2002 (2006, background): “…information on cetacean food habits is available from similar ecosystems, e.g. on the Scotian Shelf (Mitchel, 1974), in the Southern Ocean, North Pacific, and North Atlantic (Kawamura, 1980), in the Barents Sea (Haug et al., 1996, 2002), and in the Norwegian Sea (Tjelmeland and Lindstrom, 2005).”
• A review of the battle for food in the Barents Sea: cod vs. marine mammals (2015, background): “The whales exploit a variety of species and sizes of fish and crustaceans (Haug et al., 2002), however they appear to selectively forage on capelin, herring and occasionally krill (Lindstrøm and Haug, 2001).”
• Noninvasive unmanned aerial vehicle provides estimates of the energetic cost of reproduction in humpback whales (2016, background): “However, a more commonly used metric for body condition in whales is body girth (Lockyer 1987b, Vikingsson 1990, Haug et al. 2002) or width (Perryman and Lynn 2002, Miller et al. 2012), which encompasses several of these tissues and, hence, provides a more holistic measure of body condition.”
• Body shape changes associated with reproductive status, nutritive condition and growth in right whales Eubalaena glacialis and E. australis (2012, methodology): “Cetacean body girth (measured directly on carcasses) varied among years in which differences in prey abundance, quality and/or composition were observed (Lockyer 1986, 1987, Read 1990, Ichii et al. 1998, Haug et al. 2002).”
