Satellite tracking of minke whales (Balaenoptera acutorostrata)
Two minke whales were tagged with satellite-linked radio transmitters off the coast of northern Norway in order to obtain data on daily locations, movements and swimming speed. One whale was tagged in September 1994, south of Lofoten at the entrance to the Vestfjorden, and one whale was tagged in Au...
