Strandings and feeding records of Bryde's whales ( Balaenoptera edeni ) in south-eastern Brazil
Information on Balaenoptera edeni strandings along the Brazilian south-east coast and feeding associations with other marine vertebrates are reported. A total of 19 strandings were observed from 1972 to 2003 along ≈1200 km of coast. Strandings were evenly distributed among seasons with no distinguis...
