Evidence of a Feeding Aggregation of Humpback Whales ( Megaptera novaeangliae ) Around Kodiak Island, Alaska
The known summer feeding range of the North Pacific humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) extends from California, along the coasts of Oregon, Washington, and Alaska, into the Bering Sea, along the Aleutian Islands, the Sea of Okhotsk (Tomilin 1957), and to northern Japan (Rice 1977). In feeding a...
