Hi, Thanks for all your mails !
We received many advices about the blue/fin whale identification, but many people asked for better pictures to make a good choice. At this step on 23 advices, 18% choosed pygmy blue whale, 60 % fin whale, 4% hybrid, 4% other (sei, bryde...), 14% impossible to choice. Most reasons for fin choice was white right jaw, for blue whale dorsal placement. 4 people declared themselves as blue whale field specialist (sri lanka and pacific) and 2 were sure for blue whale and 2 for fin whale... There are better pictures on this link (beware of color the photo were filtered) : http://nektos.net/?page_id=6 I hope we'll get this time a significative choice, or we'll have to call it the "flue" whale ;-) regards, On Tue, May 22, 2012 at 4:19 PM, fschnoller <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi, > > We recently observed what could be a fin or blue whale, can we get an > advice from a specialist of these species ? > > Photos and videos on : www.darewin.org > > Obs was made 1 mille form the coast in qquite shalow waters (300 m), the > whale was crusing south at 10 mph speed, > > Thanks in advance, > > Regards, > > -- > Fabrice Schnöller > > www.runimages.com > <http://www.darewin.org>www.darewin.org > www.click-research.net <http://www.planetenature.re> > <http://www.fondsbiome.org> > + (262) 692 68 90 51 > skype : schnollers > > > > ▄██████████████▄▐█▄▄▄▄█▌ > ████████████████▌▀▀██▀▀ > ████▄████████████▄▄█▌ > ▄▄▄▄▄██████████████▀ > > Devez vous imprimer cet email ? > > -- Fabrice Schnöller Entrepreneur, chercheur et conseil en RSE www.runimages.com <http://www.darewin.org>www.darewin.org www.click-research.net <http://www.planetenature.re> http://www.fondsbiome.org 06 92 68 90 51 skype : schnollers ▄██████████████▄▐█▄▄▄▄█▌ ████████████████▌▀▀██▀▀ ████▄████████████▄▄█▌ ▄▄▄▄▄██████████████▀ Devez vous imprimer cet email ?
