December 2012 GERVAIS ' BEAKED WHALE (Mesoplodon europaeus): Northern Gulf of Mexico Stock
Three species of Mesoplodon are known to occur in the Gulf of Mexico, based on stranding or sighting data (Hansen et al. 1995; Würsig et al. 2000). These are Blainville's beaked whale (M. densirostris), Gervais ' beaked whale (M. europaeus) and Sowerby's beaked whale (M. bidens). Sowe...
