Unidentified whale signals recorded in Cook Strait
NEW ZEALAND—Two yet-to-be identified species of beaked whales have been detected in the Cook Strait region.
The first published findings, by NIWA marine mammal experts Dr Giacomo Giorli and Dr Kim Goetz and their collaborators from JASCO Applied Sciences, are included in the latest issue of the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America. The paper concludes that two types of signals from beaked whales were identified in the Cook Strait region that differ from any beaked whale signals previously documented.
