1 The name Beluga is also sometimes given to the Russian Sturgeon (Acipenser huso) which is common in the Black Sea. Like the White Whale, the Russian Sturgeon may grow to a length of more than 14 ft.
2 The Hudson's Bay Company has also attempted without success to exploit Beluga at Pangnirtung, in south-east Baffin Island. Oil is still purchased from the Eskimos, however, amounting to 3268 gallons in 1948, 4902 in 1949, 2623 in 1950, and 8557 in 1951.
