Radio Tagging Report of Finback and Humpback Whales.
Two finbacks (Balaenoptera physalus) and three humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) were tagged and tracked in Prince William Sound, Alaska (1 - 30 June 1978) with 27 and 30-MHz radio tags. The implantation of the tag was found to be essentially identical for the two species. The whales returned...
