All blue whales sing very low-pitched and recognisable songs, and conveniently for researchers, every population has its own unique song.
Muscat: An international team of researchers has discovered what it believes to be a new population of blue whales in the Western Indian Ocean, including the Arabian Sea and the Coast of Oman.
This came as part of a research effort initially focused on the highly endangered Arabian Sea humpback whale, with ongoing collaboration among the Environment Society of Oman, New England Aquarium, African Aquatic Conservation Fund, Five Oceans Environmental Services LLC, Oman’s Environment Authority and Oman’s Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Water Resources.
