Revised 12/15/2008 BLUE WHALE (Balaenoptera musculus): Eastern North Pacific Stock
(IWC) has formally considered only one management stock for blue whales in the North Pacific (Donovan 1991), but this ocean is thought to include more than one population (Ohsumi and Wada 1972; Braham 1991), possibly as many as five (Reeves et al. 1998). Blue whales in the North Pacific produce two...
