Research Reveals Bottom Feeding Techniques of Tagged Humpback Whales in Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary

Washington, DC–(ENEWSPF)–September 26, 2013.  New NOAA-led research on tagged humpback whales in Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary reveals a variety of previously unknown feeding techniques along the seafloor. Rather than a single bottom feeding behavior, the whales show three distinct feeding approaches: simple side-rolls, side-roll inversions, and repetitive scooping.
