  41. This could change the food supply of other marine life.
  42. Also prey eaten by the beluga whale could overpopulate.
  43. There is most definitely a risk of beluga whales.
  44. Beluga whales go extinct.
  45. Some humans also tend to sail their meat, so humans also lose things in the process.
