Norway: Whales flourish in the quiet seas This whale could have become lost whilst following prey, or could be ill or injured, Danny Groves of the Whale and Dolphin Conservation told Reuters. Equally, many whales and dolphins get into difficulty because they may have been struck by a vessel at sea, injured in fishing nets, driven off course by loud underwater noise from seismic surveys for oil or gas, or loud underwater sonar from military exercises.
The small size of the whale suggested it was still maternally or socially dependent and unable to live on its own. It s nutritionally in a poor state. Either it s been separated from its mum too early, or something s happened…it s run out of energy, said national coordinator for the BDMLR Julia Cable.
