SOME BIOLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS ON THE WHITE WHALE FROM THE AIRCRAFT(Nekotorye Biologicheskie Nablyudenity za Belukhoi s Samoleta)
On the basis of observations on the white whale carried out from the airplane in June and July 1957 in the White, Barents and Kara Seas, it was found that in summer herds of up to 10 animals are prevailing (54.9% of occurrence). Single animals and aggregations of several hundreds are seldom observed...
