South Georgia blue whales five decades after the end of whaling Endangered Species Research, 2020 (Ref: 17229)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Blue whales Balaenoptera musculus at South Georgia were heavily exploited during 20th century industrial whaling, to the point of local near-extirpation. Although legal whaling for blue whales ceased in the 1960s…

Have whales returned to a historical hotspot of industrial whaling? The pattern of southern right whale Eubalaena australis recovery at South Georgia Endangered Species Research, 2020 (Ref: 17232)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Around 176500 whales were killed in the sub-Antarctic waters off South Georgia (South Atlantic) between 1904 and 1965. In recent decades, whales have once again become summer visitors, with the southern right whale (SRW) the most commonly reported species until 2011. Here…

Antarctic sonobuoy surveys for blue whales from 2006-2021 reveal contemporary distribution, changes over time, and paths to further our understanding of their distribution and biology. Frontiers in Marine Science, 2024 (Ref: 17080)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Seven passive acoustic surveys for marine mammal sounds were conducted by deploying sonobuoys along ship tracks during Antarctic voyages spanning years 2006-2021. These surveys included nearly 330° of longitude throughout Antarctic (south of 60°S) and sub-Antarctic (between 50-60°S) latitudes. Here…

WhatsUpp? Proof of concept automated detection of 'upcalls' of southern right whales on Antarctic feeding grounds IWC Scientific Committee Meeting (SC69A), Bled, Slovenia, 24 April - 6 May 2023, 2023 (Ref: 16922)
Category 2: International meeting papers

A proof-of-concept study was conducted to explore the viability of automated acoustic detection of upcall vocalisations produced by southern right whales (Eubalaena australis) on their high-latitude Antarctic feeding grounds. The automated acoustic detector used was that of Shiu et al (2020)…

Surfacing rates, swim speeds, and patterns of movement of Antarctic blue whales Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 (Ref: 16709)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

During three surveys in the austral summers of 2013, 2015, 2019, data on Antarctic blue whale blow rates, dive times, swim speeds, and broadscale movements were collected using video photogrammetric tracking and intra-voyage photo-identification. A total of 24.

Software for real-time localization of baleen whale calls using directional sonobuoys: A case study on Antarctic blue whales The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2017 (Ref: 15900)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Directional frequency … analysis and recording (DIFAR) sonobuoys can allow real-time acoustic … localization of baleen whales for underwater tracking and remote sensing, but limited availability of hardware and software has prevented wider usage.

Blue whale vocalizations recorded around New Zealand: 1964-2013. Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2014 (Ref: 15256)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Previous underwater recordings made in New Zealand have identified a complex sequence of low frequency sounds that have been attributed to blue whales based on similarity to blue whale songs in other areas.
