[MARMAM] Body mass, length, and fluke span data for cetaceans

[B Garcia Carreras]

Dear MARMAM readers,

I am a postgraduate student doing a project on baleen whale 
biomechanics. As part of the project, I am studying the morphological 
differences between mysticete and odontocete cetaceans. I am missing 
data in the overlapping range (mysticetes smaller than a minke whale, 
and odontocetes larger than killer whales), and would appreciate if 
anyone could tell me where I could find more information on these 
species. I would be particularly interested in body mass and length, and 
fluke span data for specific individuals. Thank you very much in advance.

Best regards,

Bernardo
