Whales minced in Bizkaia waters

2001/10/09 Elhuyar Zientzia


English scientists discover for the first time in the Bay of Biscay a minced whale of True.

Mesoplodon mirus is a very scarce cetacean. In fact, several scientists have considered it missing. However, this species has been seen on three occasions, the last in these days near the Biscayan coast.

When British experts Dylan Walker and James Diamond sailed aboard the Pride of Bilbao, they saw a whale with True mucus. As experts, just identifying the animal took the machine and took many photos. They then chartered a boat to look for the whale's footprint and do research. Walker believes that in the sea they live very deeply and can live more than 2,000 specimens around the Gulf of Bizkaia.
