The results revealed much higher mutation rates than previously thought, which are similar to those of smaller mammals such as humans, apes, and dolphins.

To reach a decision on whaling, there are many criteria to take into account and our results are only one element. » Nevertheless, the article that his team publishes in Science, friday 1er september, promises to make waves during the next discussions between States on what to do. He concludes that the population of humpback whales in the North Atlantic before the era of industrial fishing – three centuries ago – was much smaller than previously thought: a little more than 20,000 individuals, far from the 150,000 cetaceans envisaged. The current population estimated at 12,000 humpback whales would therefore be in much better health than previously believed. The only European state to continue cetacean fishing, Norway should appreciate the news.
