The number of fin whales frequenting the Gulf of St. Lawrence that bear entanglement marks and scars is much higher than previously estimated. In fact, nearly one in every two fin whales has been accidentally caught in ropes or nets at least once in its lifetime. For blue whales, over 60% may have fallen victim to at least one entanglement. The team of Christian Ramp<\/a>, a researcher associated with the Mingan Island Cetacean Study<\/a> and the University of St Andrews<\/a>, publishes this worrying finding in the scientific journal Endangered Species Research<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

While the threat of entanglements was previously considered low for blue and fin whales, these results might change how researchers perceive this risk.<\/p>\n
