Assessment rationale/justification
This population totals about 130 individuals and appears to be currently stable. Oil and gas development in and around the prime habitat of this population poses the greatest threat and will likely reduce the quality of their habitat. However, there is little information as to how this species is, or is not, affected by oil and gas development activities.; Cette population compte environ 130 individus et semble stable à l'heure actuelle. Les exploitations pétrolières et gazières à l'intérieur et autour de l'habitat principal de cette population représentent les plus grandes menaces et réduiront probablement la qualité de l'habitat. Cependant, il existe peu de renseignements sur la façon dont l'espèce est touchée ou non par les activités de l'exploitation pétrolière et gazière.

History
The Northern Bottlenose Whale was given a single designation of Not at Risk in April 1993. Split into two populations in April 1996 to allow a separate designation of the Northern Bottlenose Whale (Scotian Shelf population). Scotian Shelf population desig.; La baleine à bec commune a été désignée comme étant non en péril en avril 1993. L'espèce a été divisée en deux populations en avril 1996 afin de permettre une désignation distincte pour la baleine à bec commune (population du plateau néo-écossais). La population du plateau néo-écossais a été désignée préoccupante en avril 1996. Réexamen du statut : l'espèce a été désignée ' en voie de disparition ' en novembre 2002.

This population is small (78 animals in 2001, all ages) and has declined by 20% from 1995-2001. Organochlorine levels are high and the whales are subject to high levels of boat traffic (including whale watching). Abundance of their primary prey, salmon, has also declined.; Cette population est petite (78 individus en 2001, de tous les à¢ges) et a connu un déclin de 20 p. 100 de 1995 à 2001. La teneur organochlorée est élevée, et les épaulards sont sujets à un niveau élevé de circulation de bateaux (y compris l'observation des baleines). L'abondance de leur proie principale, le saumon, a aussi connu un déclin.

The species was previously extirpated from Canada. A small population is now established in Alberta and Saskatchewan through re-introductions. Animals are successfully breeding in the wild, although the species is potentially at risk from coyote predation and habitat loss.; Cette espèce était auparavant disparue du Canada. Une petite population est maintenant établie en Alberta et en Saskatchewan par le truchement de réintroductions. Les individus se reproduisent avec succès à l'état sauvage, bien que l'espèce soit possiblement en péril en raison de la prédation du coyote et de la perte de l'habitat.
