[MARMAM] New paper on blue whales off Sri Lanka
Dear All, My co-authors and I are pleased to announce the publication of our paper entitled: ' Blue whales off the southern coast of Sri Lanka during the southwest monsoon season' GRACE RUSSELL, MARCUS BRIDGE & MAJA NIMAK-WOOD J. CETACEAN RES. MANAGE. 21: 1-7, 2020 ABSTRACT Observations of 37 individual blue whales were recorded off the southern coast of Sri Lanka during the southwest monsoon season. Sightings were made during a scientific geophysical survey campaign conducted in July and August 2017. Whilst blue whales are regularly recorded on the continental slope of southern Sri Lanka during the northeast monsoon season (NEM) (December-March) and during the two inter-monsoonal periods (March-April and September-October), limited data are available for the SWM (May-September) mostly due to unfavourable weather conditions and a lack of survey effort. In the Northern Hemisphere, blue whales generally undertake seasonal migrations from higher latitude feeding grounds to lower latitude breeding and wintering areas. However, it has been suggested that a population of blue whales in the northern Indian Ocean (NIO) remains in lower latitudes year-round, taking advantage of the rich upwelling areas off Somalia, southwest Arabia and western Sri Lanka. Data from this study support a hypothesis that a certain number of individuals remain off the southern coast of Sri Lanka during the SWM, suggesting that the productivity in this region is sufficient to support their year-round presence. This study fills a knowledge gap on the presence and movement of blue whales in the NIO, highlighting the importance of data that can be obtained from platforms of opportunity.

[MARMAM] Blue whales Balaenoptera musculus in offshore waters of Kenya
Dear colleagues, We would like to announce the recent publication of the following paper: R Barber, I Sikora & M Nimak-Wood (2016): Blue whales Balaenoptera musculus in offshore waters of Kenya, African Journal of Marine Science, DOI: 10.2989/1814232X.2016.1182590 Observations of blue whales were made in Kenyan offshore waters during a seismic survey from September 2014 to January 2015. These represent the first live at-sea sightings of blue whales reported from Kenyan waters. All 30 sightings occurred between September and October in waters ranging from 2 990 to 4 705 m depth. It is unknown to which of the three possible subspecies the animals sighted belong. Based on timing and geographical location, they are likely to have been either Antarctic blue whalesBalaenoptera musculus intermedia, Madagascar pygmy blue whales B. m. brevicauda or northern Indian Ocean blue whales B. m. indica.
