Dial and seasonal acoustic signalization of the whales was studying by analysing of more than 300 hours of visual observations and 25 hours of audio vecovdes. Audio analyses of more than 6000 signals of Beluga whale did possible to localize 45 classes of signals whale. 78% of this amount belong to 7 of the most frequently used classes. The dynamic of change of the frequency of use, relative and absolute density of stream was showed in for this 7 classes. Three the most significant periods ( breeding, first copulation and subadults activity) were studied.
