Nature: Previously unknown blue whale population in the Indian Ocean identified by its unique song


The find challenges the assumed distribution of whale populations in the area

A unique whale song has revealed the presence of a previously unknown population of blue whales living in the north-western Indian Ocean, a study has reported.
US-led experts detected the song being sung in acoustic recordings taken at three locations: the Chagos Archipelago, Madagascar and Oman s Arabian Sea coast.
