From an initial focus on sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) and right whales (Eubalaena spp.), the array of targeted whales expanded to include bowhead whales (Balaena mysticetus), humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae), and gray whales (Eschrichtius robustus). …”

Quantifying the energy stores of capital breeding humpback whales and income breeding sperm whales using historical whaling records by Lyn G. Irvine, Michele Thums, Christine E. Hanson, Clive R. McMahon, Mark A. Hindell

“…Using a unique set of historical whaling records from Western Australia (1952–1963), we investigated energy stores of large cetaceans with differing life histories, and quantified the relationship between total body lipid and length for humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) (n = 905) and sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) (n = 1961). …”
