Potential feeding habitat of fin whales in the western Mediterranean Sea: an environmental niche model
Jean-Noël Druon,Simone Panigada,Léa David,Alexandre Gannier,Pascal Mayol,Antonella Arcangeli,Ana Cañadas,Sophie Laran,Nathalie Di MEglio,Pauline Gauffier +9 more
TL;DR: Overall, fin whale potential habitat occurs frequently during summer in dynamic areas of the general circulation, and is substantially more spread over the basin in winter, which is essential to consider when assessing migration patterns and recommending protection and conservation measures.
