A team led by Sonia Kumar, a Ph.D. student at UAF’s College of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences, spent two years tracking belugas in the Kenai and Kasilof rivers using underwater microphones. The team included researchers with the UAF College of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences and the National Oceanic and Atm
