🐋Daily Cetacean Fact:🐋

Sei Whale: Sei whales occur in subtropical, temperate, and subpolar waters around the world. Often found with pollock in Norway, the name "sei" comes from the Norwegian word for pollock, "seje." At the water's surface, sei whales can be recognized by a columnar or bushy blow that is about 10 to 13 feet high. The dorsal fin usually appears at the same time as the blowhole when the animal surfaces to breathe.

Giant blue-grey sei whales that vanished from Argentina's Patagonian coast a century ago due to hunting are starting to flourish once again, demonstrating how species can recover when measures to protect them are put in place.

In the 1920s and 1930s regular whaling ships along the shores of Argentina, and beyond, saw populations dwindle. In the last 50 years, global bans on commercial whaling have helped populations of sei and others revive.

"They disappeared because they were hunted, they did not become extinct but were so reduced that no one saw them," said Mariano Coscarella, biologist and researcher in marine ecosystems at the Argentine state science body CONICET.

Coscarella added that it had taken decades for numbers to recover enough that the whales had again been sighted, which only started to happen again in recent years.

"In this case it took over 80 years," Coscarella said. "They breed every 2 or 3 years and so it took almost 100 years for them to have appreciable numbers for people to realize they were there."

Whoa hold on, I’ve never seen a Fin Whale breech. If I was an ancient sailor and I saw that I’d definitely just go “yup there’s the leviathan.”

Makes one wonder how many sea serpent sightings were from seeing unfamiliar whale species breaching, honestly. And we’re used to rorquals as typical whales nowadays, but with speed being their answer to everything they would have been less familiar to your average sailor.

If you’re interested in whale breaching (and why wouldn’t you be?) the Eyewitness Handbook of Whales, Dolphins, and Porpoises has art of the known breachers, from the right whale somersault to the majestic sei whale belly-flop.

Dead whale found in Sarawak is Sei whale, says Sarawak Forestry

A dead whale found in Batang Lupar, Sri Aman, Sarawak, has been identified as a Sei whale (Balaenoptera borealis), marking the first confirmed record of the species in Sarawak waters, according to the Sarawak Forestry Corporation (SFC). The discovery was confirmed through DNA testing by SFC’s biodiversity conservation division. The decomposed carcass was first spotted near Pulau Seduku on Nov 19…

Why is it always a shark that’s a villain in a fish movie. There’s so many cool and dangerous aquatic animals to choose from. Why can’t the villain be like a malicious billfish for once? Or a gang of mean mean orcas? I say this as a person who loves both of those animals by the way it’s just getting very really tiring, the shark slander

With over $450,000 deposits since its presale began, $LNEX is poised to grow by over 100x before its official launch. Sei's (SEI) Innovation Drives Ecosystem Growth As of September 28th, Sei (SEI) was priced at $0.2883. Over the last 30 days, it surged by 50% to reach $0.4882. However, Sei currently stands at $0.4368, reflecting a 5.66% drop in the past 24 hours. Despite the recent dip, Sei continues to attract attention with its innovative Parallel Stack, which supports the creation of Rollups and Layer-2 solutions to boost performance. According to experts, Sei is on track to hit $0.50 by Q1 2025, thanks to the increasing developer support.

Giant blue-grey sei whales, absent for over a century, are reemerging along Argentina’s Patagonian coastline. Relentless hunting in the 1920s and '30s threatened their existence, but over the past five decades, worldwide bans on commercial whale hunting have spurred their recovery. Biologists laud this resurgence as a triumph for global conservation efforts, yet stress the necessity for nations to safeguard whale moratoriums. Biologist Mariano Coscarella heads the Proyecto Sei research initiative, which has equipped select sei whales with satellite trackers to chart their migration routes. Coscarella notes that it has taken years for their population to rebound to observable levels, a trend that has only become apparent in recent times.
