Amazingly, this sailor had photographed him at exactly the same place six years earlier to the day!

Commercial whaling ended in the 1960s, leaving populations on the brink of extinction. According to estimates, the global population of blue whales is believed to be between 5,000 and 12,000 individuals. However, there are no reliable recent estimates. The western North Atlantic population has been approximated at a few hundred. Just over 400 blue whales have been <a href=\"http:\/\/baleinesendirect.org\/en\/scientific-exploration\/scientific-techniques\/photo-identification\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">photo-identified<\/a> (up to 105 in one year) in 35 years of research concentrated primarily in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More than just blue whales in the spotlight<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_21104\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21104\" style=\"width: 358px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/baleinesendirect.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Dauphins_Mics.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-21104\" src=\"http:\/\/baleinesendirect.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Dauphins_Mics.jpg\" alt=\"Dauphins \u00e0 flancs blancs \u00a9 MICS\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-21104\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">White-sided dolphins \u00a9 MICS<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Of note for the <strong>Tadoussac<\/strong> sector, the fin whale named <a href=\"http:\/\/baleinesendirect.org\/en\/whales-of-the-st-lawrence\/portraits-of-whales\/fin-whales\/trou\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Trou<\/a> has grabbed attention in recent days; this greyhound of the seas regularly shows its tail when it dives, a rare behaviour for a fin whale.
