Description:North Pacific right whales (Eubalaena japonica) occur during the summer in waters from the Okhotsk Sea, Kuril Islands, off southern and southeastern Kamchatka Peninsula, the southeastern Bering Sea, the northern Gulf of Alaska, and the Pacific coast of northern Honshu (Figure 1). Their known current distribution in winter includes the waters off Southern China, Taiwan, the Ogasawara Islands, Hawaii, and Baja California, Mexico (Gendron et al., 1999; Herman et al., 1980; Kennedy et al., 2011; Rice, 1998). The species was heavily exploited by commercial whaling in the past and is now considered severely depleted, particularly the whales in the eastern North Pacific, which are designated on the IUCN Red List as “Critically Endangered” (Cooke & Clapham, 2018).
