- Title
First Stranding of Sperm Whale (Physeter macrocephalus) in Korean Waters.
- Authors
Kyung-Jun Song
- Abstract
The article describes a stranded sperm whale, Physeter macrocephalus, on the northern shore of Ui Island along the Korean Peninsula on December 2, 2005. It is suggested that the stranding events involving whales in Korean waters might imply that they are returning to their historical distribution and migration routes. That stranded whale is examined based on the location of the area, the cause of its death, and its age.
