Dear
Marmamers,
last
week
fishermen
from
Galicia
(NW
Spain)
told
us
that
they
saw
a whale
around
10 - 12m length
with
a yellow
label/mark
at
its
back
swimming
to
the
North
Atlantic.
We
can't confirm
the
identification
of
the
species
but
as 15 days
before
a fin whale
calve
of more or less
the same length stranded at
the
coast,
we
suppose
that
it
could be also
a calve or
a juvenile
of
this
species.
Somebody
is
using
this
yellow
marks
for
the identification
of fin whales
or
tracking
them?
Thank
you!
Cheers,
Ángela
