What I find REALLY confusing about this is that the whales are traveling from ocean water (salt water) to Lake water (fresh water) and it doesn't seem to kill them outright as soon as they pass the Seaway. From a biological perspective that just seems odd. Adaptation happen all the time in nature, but not THAT quick, it usually takes generations.

No. The salt water starts North of Quebec city not in the St Lawrence seaway. applegrove May 2018 #4

I was wrong. All kinds of whales hang out in eastern Quebec. applegrove May 2018 #5
