TL;DR: Blue whales avoid the oligotrophic central gyres of the Indian, Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, but are more common where phytoplankton densities are high, and where there are dynamic oceanographic processes like upwelling and frontal meandering.
Blue whale habitat selection and within-season distribution in a regional upwelling system off southern Australia
TL;DR: Analyzing sightings from aerial surveys over 6 upwelling seasons to assess within-season patterns of blue whale habitat selection, distribution, and relative abundance found that whales selected significantly higher SSC in the central and eastern zones than the western zone, where relative abundance was extremely variable.
A blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) feeding ground in a southern Australian coastal upwelling zone

TL;DR: Krill appear to aggregate in response to enhanced productivity resulting from the summer-autumn wind-forced Bonney Coast upwelling along the continental shelf, and is evidently a regular feeding ground for blue whales, and careful management of human activities is required there.

Cetacean distribution off Eastern Antarctica (80–150°E) during the Austral summer of 1995/1996
TL;DR: A line-transect marine science survey of the waters off East Antarctica (80-150°E; CCAMLR Division 58.4.1; IWC Areas IV and V) was conducted during the Austral summer of 1995/1996.
