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). The Davis Strait population wa.; 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 détroit de Davis n'a été réévaluée et a conservé la désignation initiale ' non en péril ' de la baleine à  bec commune.
