We were warned! From September 2024. And now the #whales are falling silent!!! And #krill are dependent on whales as much as whales are dependent on krill!
#KrillHarvesting threatens #whale recovery
Soaring human demand for krill in the Southern Ocean poses a challenge to the recovery of whale species once hunted nearly to extinction. Stanford researchers identify the growing food conflict and offer solutions.
September 10th, 2024
"Human harvesting of krill in the Southern Ocean could threaten the recovery of whale species that were nearly wiped out by industrial whaling in the 20th century, according to a Sept. 10 study in Nature Communications.
"The tiny, shrimp-like crustaceans known as krill are the essential food source for baleen whales such as blues and #humpbacks. To feed, these giant marine mammals take in great gulps of ocean water, filtering krill through bristly mouth structures. Booming demand for krill as #FishMeal and #omega3 fatty acid nutritional #supplements, however, could leave whales without enough victuals to sustain even their diminished numbers.
" 'Our calculations suggest an alarming possibility that we might harvest krill to the point where we do real damage to recovering whale populations,' said lead study author Matthew Savoca, a research scientist in the lab of Jeremy Goldbogen, associate professor of oceans in the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability.
"The results highlight a need for scientists, regulators, and industry to carefully assess the impacts of krill harvesting in the Southern Ocean at current levels before expanding. 'With this study, we want to draw attention to how there likely isn’t enough krill to support fully recovered whale populations, and now on top of that, we’re harvesting krill and plan to harvest more krill in the near future,' said Goldbogen, the study’s senior author
.
Counting on krill"The new research grew out of a prior Stanford study documenting how baleen whales gobble up significantly more krill than scientists had previously estimated. A paradoxical finding of that study was that, as whale populations plummeted by roughly 90% in the Southern Ocean during whaling’s grim heyday, so, too, did krill populations.
"The researchers worked out that #BaleenWhales effectively fertilize the ocean through their prodigious droppings, providing nutrients for the #phytoplankton that krill eat. The upshot: The krill population must have been much larger, perhaps five times greater, than it is currently to have sustained the pre-whaling whale populations in the early 20th century.
" 'Krill is the foundation of the entire Southern Ocean ecosystem. They’re really the only thing that large whales eat down there,' Savoca said.
"In the nearly 40 years since a global whaling moratorium went into place in 1986, some Southern Ocean species – particularly humpbacks – have made an impressive comeback. Yet this recovery has taken place against increasing competition with humans for the whales’ critical food source; over the past 30 years, the krill catch has quadrupled to around 400,000 tons annually and is set to expand further.
"Savoca and colleagues calculated how much krill is left in the Southern Ocean for baleen whales, seabirds, and other predators to eat after industrial krill harvesting at current rates, compared to the estimated amount of krill available before industrial whaling began. 'The basic math makes it pretty clear that the current krill biomass cannot support both an expanding krill fishery and the recovery of whale populations to pre-whaling size,' said Savoca."

👏 Major win for marine conservation! The first Greek shipping company has pledged to reroute its vessels to protect endangered whales in the Hellenic Trench, a crucial habitat for these majestic creatures. This is a significant step towards safer seas and a brighter future for our marine wildlife. 🌊🐋

The Australian government is deeply disappointed by Japan’s decision to target fin whales, the world’s second-largest and considered vulnerable, in its commercial hunts. Environment Minister #TanyaPlibersek criticised this move, as Japan plans to hunt up to 59 fin whales within its economic zone. #WhaleConservation #SaveTheWhales #Environment #WildlifeProtection #Australia #Japan

I wish #japan would aid the trapped #orcas or at least help to coordinate a rescue. It hurts to see the pod of them trapped & struggling in that small break in the ice. The whole apathy & "hope for the best" choice does not sit well when there are solutions available. In contrast to the whole spectacle of rescue for the #titansubmersible victims, this inaction is inexcusable. #savethewhales

Happy #SteveIrwin Day!
In good #animal #news: #Dominica has declared that they'll open the first #sanctuary for sperm #whales.
No commercial #fishing or large vessels will be allowed in the 800m2 reserve, but people can come & swim with the whales.
Sperm whale feces enrich plankton, who in turn aid carbon sequestration - so #savethewhales directly helps #climatechange.
Nice one, Dominica.

The vaquita, the world’s smallest and rarest marine mammal, is on the brink of extinction. Only about 10 individuals remain in the Gulf of California, where they are threatened by illegal fishing nets. The IUCN has issued its first extinction alert in 70 years, urging immediate action to save this species. #Vaquita #ExtinctionAlert #SaveTheWhales https://www.iflscience.com/first-extinction-alert-issued-in-70-years-for-rarest-marine-mammal-on-earth-71025
