It was once thought that this species was also the main target (or at least represented half the catch) in southern Labrador, but it now appears as though bowhead whales (Balaena mysticetus) were the primary targets.
Nekoć se mislilo da je ta vrsta bila ujedno i glavna meta (ili najmanje polovina ulova) po južnom Labradoru, ali sada se čini kao da su lukoglavi kitovi (Balaena mysticetus) bili primarni ciljevi.
