DOI: 10.3354/esr01066
Abstract: The blue whale Balaenoptera musculus (Linnaeus, 1758) was the target of intense commercial whaling in the 20th century, and current populations remain drastically below prewhaling abundances. Reducing uncertainty in subspecific taxonomy would enable targeted conservation… read more here.
