Satellite Tagging of Fin Whales off California and Washington in 2010 to Identify Movement Patterns, Habitat Use, and Possible Stock Boundaries
Though fin whales from the California/Oregon/Washington stock are listed as endangered under the ESA and depleted under the MMPA, little is known about their movement patterns, habitat preferences, or stock structure within the region. A large number of fin whales were estimated to have been taken i...
