The hunt is co-managed by the Nunavut including northern Foxe Basin and Wildlife Management Board and the Canada Department of Fisheries and Oceans. [...] The Cosens and Blouw (1999) found that the species is currently listed as endangered by size range of females with calves in northern the Committee on the Status of Endangered Foxe Basin was similar to that in the Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC). [...] Between 1979 and 2 Central and Arctic Hudson Bay/Foxe Basin Bowheads 1996, there was no licensed hunt of Baffin Bay-Davis Strait whales consist of bowheads in the Hudson Bay-Foxe Basin one stock and to determine the relationship stock. [...] If Cumberland Sound whales Foxe Basin and those around Repulse Bay are representative of the Baffin Bay-Davis belong to the same population and that these Strait population, then Hudson Bay-Foxe estimates could be added, giving a total Basin bowheads and Baffin Bay-Davis Strait estimate of about 345 bowheads in the stock. [...] This, in combination with the Aerial surveys have not sampled the conclusions of the Inuit Bowhead complete summering range of this stock and Knowledge Study, suggests that the stock underestimate total stock size.
