Humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) occurrence in the Mediterranean Sea
J. Cetacean Res. Manage., 2023 Humpback whales were considered extremely rare in the Mediterranean Sea until recently. Only two confirmed records were known from a period of more than 100 years and both were from the western basin. However, nine new observations spread across both Mediterranean basins have been recorded since 1990.

Hirnlipom beim Buckelwal, Megaptera novaeangliae [PDF]
Pathologia veterinaria, 1966 A case of basal lipoma at the border of the pons and medulla oblongata is described in a male, adult humpback whale. The tumor was relatively isomorphic and had angiomatous structures in its capsule. The adjacent choroid plexus showed stromal proliferation with atrophy of the papillae and hyperplasia of the taenia chorioidea.

Microplastic in a macro filter feeder: Humpback whale Megaptera novaeangliae
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2015 Marine filter feeders are exposed to microplastic because of their selection of small particles as food source. Baleen whales feed by filtering small particles from large water volumes. Macroplastic was found in baleen whales before. This study is the first to show the presence of microplastic in intestines of a baleen whale (Megaptera novaeangliae ...

Tagging Very Small Fish: Two Effective and Low Impact Methods
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 345, Issue 3, Page 213-224, April 2026.ABSTRACT Identifying individuals over time and across contexts is essential in many scientific fields. There are a variety of well‐established methods for uniquely marking individuals (e.g., visible implant elastomer, barcodes, paint). However, for some species, life history stages, and/or experiments, existing methods are not sufficient.
