Dear all, My co-authors and I are pleased to announce and share our recent paper titled " A new Bryde’s whale (Balaenoptera edeni) record for mainland Portugal" published in the Journal of Cetacean Research and Management. volume 22.
The full paper is available via open access and free to download: https://archive.iwc.int/pages/view.php?ref=18973&k= Feel free to email me if you have any questions. Abstract: The Brydes’s whale (*Balaenoptera edeni*) is a species of baleen whale known to live year‐round in warm waters. Here, we report the sighting of an adult individual during the summer of 2020 off the south coast of Portugal. The whale was observed 6.4 n.miles from the shore in water at a depth of 50.6m. Initially this individual was associated with a group of bottlenose dolphins. This is the first record of this species for mainland Portugal. The distribution of the species in the North Atlantic Ocean is still poorly known. Best regards, Joana Castro
