Baleen whale prey consumption based on high-resolution foraging measurements

, 2021
Baleen whales influence their ecosystems through immense prey consumption and nutrient recycling1–3. It is difficult to accurately gauge the magnitude of their current or historic ecosystem role without measuring feeding rates and prey consumed. To date,

Long‐Term Fluctuations in Cetacean Occurrence Derived From Whale‐Watching Platforms Off Southwest Gran Canaria: Evaluating Their Potential as an Ecological Indicator

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Using an 18‐year dataset of whale‐watching observations from Gran Canaria (Canary Islands), we analysed long‐term temporal dynamics of cetacean communities in the subtropical Atlantic. Standardised sightings per unit effort (SPUE) revealed strong seasonal patterns, multi‐year fluctuations and species‐specific responses to environmental variability ...

Decadal Bowhead Whale Baleen Stable Isotope and Hormone Chronologies (1985–2010) Provide Insight Into Arctic Ecosystem Change

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
Long‐term chronologies constructed from individual bowhead baleen plates reveal stable isotope declines consistent with regional Arctic food web or productivity changes superimposed on global anthropogenic C and N inputs, while relatively stable hormone concentrations over the same period provide no evidence of a concomitant increase in physiological ...

Integrating the needs of recovering populations of baleen whales into the revised management framework for the commercial fishery for Antarctic krill

Frontiers in Marine Science
We consider how the ongoing recovery of baleen whale populations requires improved understanding when managing the largest commercial fishery in the Southern Ocean, the fishery for Antarctic krill.

Raw Whitebait as a Probable Source of Human Diplogonoporus balaenopterae Infection in Non‐Coastal Area: A Case Report

Journal of General and Family Medicine, Volume 27, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT We describe a case of a man in his late 20s who presented with symptoms of diarrhea, abdominal pain, and passage of string‐like materials following the consumption of raw whitebait. Stool analysis was negative for eggs and parasites. However, a worm segment corroborated by subsequent genetic sequencing confirmed infection with Diplogonoporus ...
