Mesoplodon stejnegert True, 1885, Russia, Commander Islands, “Bering Island.” This species is monotypic. Distribution. Endemic to cold temperate and subpolar waters of N Pacific Ocean, from the relatively shallow waters of the Bering Sea in the N to S Japan (W Pacific Ocean) and C California (E Pacific Ocean); itis the only species of Mesoplodon that commonly occurs in the Sea ofJapan. Descriptive notes. Total length 480-574 cm; weight 1000-1300 kg. Body of Stejneger’s Beaked Whale is spindle-shaped, with greatest girth around its mid-point. Flukes are wide in relation to body length, and tailstock is compressed laterally. Dorsal fin is small and set approximately two-thirds the distance between tip of the beak and end of the tail. Males and females are uniformly gray to black. Adult male Stejneger’s Beaked Whales may have a number of long white lines that are unpigmented scars from aggressing male—male interactions. Rostrum and lowerjaw form a short, indistinct beak, and there are two grooves on the throat. Lowerjaw of adult males is arched, and a pair of triangular tusks is found midway alongit. Habitat. Primarily waters deeper than 200 m, and like other species of Mesoplodon, Stejneger’s Beaked Whale may preferentially occur over areas of complex seabed topography, butits habitat preferences have not been studied in detail. Food and Feeding. Stejneger’s Beaked Whale primarily consumes species of deep-water squid. As with other species of beaked whales, Stejneger’s Beaked Whale islikely to forage at depths greater than 500 m for much ofits life. Breeding. There is no information available for this species.
