Return of large fin whale feeding aggregations to historical whaling ...

150 southern fin whales observed feeding together

Scientists and filmmakers recorded the massive fin whale aggregation as part of a new series streaming on Disney+. Weighing 80 tons, fin whales are the second-largest animal on the

Return of large fin whale feeding aggregations to historical whaling grounds in the Southern Ocean. Fin whale distribution (left) and associated CVs (right) based on aerial survey

Southern Hemisphere fin whales were severely depleted by twentieth century industrial whaling, yet recently, they have returned to historical feeding grounds off the northern Antarctic Peninsula, forming large

In this paper we document recent observations of large fin whale aggregations engaged in feeding activity in association with observations of large Antarctic krill swarms (V. Siegel pers. comm.)

Recovery of a large whale population has the potential to augment primary productivity at their feeding grounds through the effects of nutrient recycling, known as ‚the whale pump‘. The

After the ban on commercial whaling in 1976, the stocks of these long-lived, but slow-growing creatures are rebounding: researchers have witnessed large groups of up to 150

Fin whales are typically seen in groups of 6-10 animals, although they can also be found in pairs or even alone, and feeding aggregations as large as 100 have been seen in the Bering Sea

These aggregations are some of the largest groups of feeding baleen whales (whales with filters in their mouths) to be documented. The authors say that the fin whales’
