Title: | A white killer whale in the central Aleutians / Martin Renner, Kevin Bell. |
Author(s): | Renner, Martin. Bell, Kevin. |
Date: | 2008. |
In: | Arctic. (2008.), Vol. 61(1) (2008) |
Abstract: | Reports observation of white adult killer whale (Orcinus orca) on 7 August 2000 off north side of Adak Island. Open saddle and rounded dorsal fin type suggest that whale belongs to fish-eating ("resident") ecotype. Circular scar matching cookie-cutter shark (Isistius sp.) bite mark is possible evidence that specimen originated in warmer waters. |
