About 400 gray whales feed along the coasts of Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia in the summer.

Bryde's whales feed on pelagic schooling fish, such as anchovy, herring and sardine.

It has recently been recognized that the whales are also feeding opportunistically along the Kimberley coast.

Right whales feed mainly on copepods but also consume krill and pteropods.

As a result of studies done here, scientists are also reconsidering their traditional belief that gray whales do not feed while in their winter grounds.

Blue whales feed almost exclusively on krill, though they also take small numbers of copepods.

The whale feeds by lunging forward at groups of krill, taking the animals and a large quantity of water into its mouth.

In this way, one whale could feed an Eskimo community for a long time.

Bryde's whales feed on mackerel when they can find them.

Consequently, if a whale cannot feed, its entire fresh water require- ments must be provided from the stored oils, particularly from blubber oil.
