Аннотация
Based on satellite tracking of eight beluga whale males in the White Sea, their habitats in the autumn, winter, and spring periods have been identified. A correlation between the distribution of beluga whales, ice dynamics, and migration of Atlantic salmon has been revealed. It has been found than beluga whale males do not leave the White Sea during the entire ice period. The results obtained confirm the hypothesis that the White Sea population of beluga whales is isolated.
