On September 15, this captain crosses paths with a right whale. This large, plump whale is observed in the St. Lawrence especially between July and September. Most observations are made in the southern part of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, specifically in the Gasp\u00e9, off the coast of Perc\u00e9. However, since 1998, more and more observations are being reported, as was the case this summer, in the Magdalen Islands, Chaleur Bay, the Lower North Shore and the Estuary.<\/p>\n<p>In the Gasp\u00e9 region, as these lines are being written, a whale-watching crew member is undertaking his traditional morning watch and spots over twenty large, differently-shaped spouts between Cap-des-Rosiers and Cap-Gasp\u00e9. He informs his team, who is getting ready to leave the wharf with passengers. These tourists would later discover six fin whales. The same morning, the aforementioned individual observes from afar a group travelling very quickly. He hesitates between a herd of dolphins and a school of Atlantic bluefin tuna. Like dolphins, tuna are powerful swimmers that can reach speeds of up to 30 km\/h. Dolphins in comparison can reach velocities of between 25 and 45 km\/h, but their cruising speed is closer to the order of 15 km\/h. Lastly that morning, hundreds of white-sided dolphins went racing by. The day before this observation, a school of bluefin tuna is observed in Gasp\u00e9 Bay, as was an ocean sunfish. The ocean sunfish, also called common mola, is a slow swimmer which probably moves less than 5 km\/h. This flat fish has huge dorsal and anal fins and no tail.<br \/>\nIt measures one to two metres and can weigh as much as a beluga, i.e. about one tonne. Perhaps it is because they move so slowly that these fish are covered with numerous parasites.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13873\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13873\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/baleinesendirect.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/BAT150910_10101-e14428613304591.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13873 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http:\/\/baleinesendirect.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/BAT150910_10101-e14428613304591-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13873\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Unknown humpback seen last week<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Lastly, in the Estuary, four blue whales and three fin whales are observed near Les Escoumins.
