"Cracking the Code: Unraveling Arctic Whales' Migratory Foraging Habits"

A study on humpback whales in the Barents Sea and northern Norway reveals that some whales continue foraging in the northern Norwegian fjords during their migration. Pregnant females, in particular, are more likely to engage in winter foraging to maximize their energy. The study highlights the importance of understanding the impact of human-driven factors on migratory species and emphasizes the need to prioritize the management of ecosystems, including shipping and fishing activity, to protect endangered whale populations.
