Article Synopsis
- - Blue whales have been observed feeding off southern Chile from December to May since 1970, and research indicates they represent a distinct subspecies, informally named the Chilean blue whales.
- - Photo-identification surveys conducted between 2004 and 2012 in northern Isla Grande de Chiloé and Isla Chañaral documented encounters with 1,070 blue whales, leading to 318 and 267 unique photos of their flanks, respectively.
- - Population estimates suggest around 570-760 blue whales utilize the region seasonally, with strong annual fluctuations potentially linked to prey availability, and high return rates indicate these whales tend to revisit Isla Grande de Chiloé.
