The Húsavík Whale Museum, a non-profit organisation, in Iceland has been collecting photo-identification and sightings data of minke whales, humpback whales and white-beaked dolphins for a period of over seven years. The aim of this research has been to understand the distribution of these species within Icelandic waters and how this can be used to assist with their management and conservation. This summer researchers managed to capture images of an individual humpback whale with two distinct dorsal fins. This is the first case we have seen of such a distinctive abnormality and we are wondering if any other research organisations have seen similar examples or may have an idea of the potential of such a condition occurring within this or other species? Thanks in advance for any information you may have.
