A recent study by Oregon State University has confirmed a significant decline in the body length of gray whales along the Pacific Northwest coast, beginning in the year 2000.Gray whales which would mostly spend their summers on the Pacific Northwest coast have been declining in body length. An Oregon State University study vetted this claim and noted that this decline has been happening since the year 2000.
Some of the recent studies from OSU have revealed that whales in the Pacific Coast Feeding Group subgroup are smaller. Their overall condition is worse compared to their ENP counterparts. They came to the conclusion that a fully-grown gray whale born in 2020 can reach an average adult body length of about 5 feet 5 inches . This size is shorter than a gray whale born prior to 2000.Enrico Pirotta, lead author of the study and a researcher at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland revealed that size is pretty important for animals.
Climate change has been a well-known foe for the longest time now. Leigh Torres, associate professor and director of the GEMM Lab at OSU believes it has a role to play as well behind the declining sizes as well.
