Beluga likely came from north of Alaska

News Staff
A beluga whale that swam thousands of miles south on a rare trip to Puget Sound earlier this month is likely from waters north of Alaska.
Scientists collected the whale’s genetic material during its Washington stay and an analysis of that DNA helped give a glimpse into where the beluga’s trip began.
In an update this week, the North Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said the mammal travelled thousands of miles around Alaska and through the Bering Sea, before arriving off Tacoma — hence it was last seen on Oct. 20.
Scientists collected material known as environmental DNA (eDNA) from the water near the whale. Those remnants included skin, fecal and other cellular materials that came from the animal.
“The information that we can obtain from eDNA is more limited than what we can generate from a tissue sample, but can provide insight about where the whale is likely from,” said Kim Parsons, a research scientist at NOAA Fisheries’ Northwest Fisheries Science Center.
A short genetic sequence from the whale most closely matches other belugas from the Beaufort Sea and high Arctic, a group that migrates between the United States, Canada and Russia. The update said the Beaufort Sea beluga population was estimated at 40,000 in 1992, but researchers are still updating results from a 2019 survey to get updated figures.
It also noted that belugas are known to occasionally roam beyond their usual Arctic ranges, as there have been several reports of other belugas in the northwestern coast. One was also photographed off San Diego last summer.
NOAA said the West Coast Marine Mammal Stranding Network is prepared to respond if the whale becomes stranded and sightings should be passed along to the Orca Network at 1-360-331-3543.

World-class soccer pair relish chance to grow the game as Pacific FC co-owners
Rob Friend is no stranger to big games, having played in them on both sides of the Atlantic. But the former striker is still getting used to them as an owner.
Friend and fellow former Canadian international Josh Simpson, along with investment entrepreneur Dean Shillington, are co-owners of Pacific FC, which topped the Canadian Premier League standings at 13-3-8 for a Canadian Championship journey Wednesday night, falling 2-1 to Major League Soccer’s Toronto FC.
“I can certainly tell you as a co‑owner, it’s more nerve‑racking,” said Friend of the start of the season, at BMO Field on Wednesday. “It’s been a very proud moment to see the team and the building of the team for the last few years. These Canadian Championship games are that much special, playing these big games.
“Not having control like you do as a player is tough. It’s been tough. But I also love the emotional roller‑coaster as well that comes with it.”
Friend, 40, has made the most of his business/managerial connections in the game, having played for the University of California‑Santa Barbara, as well as his experience playing around the world.
Originally drafted by the Chicago Fire in 2003, he opted to sign with Moss FK and then Molde FK in Norway. He later had stints in the Netherlands with SC Heerenveen and played professionally in other leagues during his career.
Friend said he remains excited about the growth of the game in Canada and the role Pacific FC can play in providing opportunities for Canadian players. He and his co‑owners relish the chance to grow the game at the local and national levels.
