Bryde's whale (Balcenoptera brydei) does not seem to be wholly
dependent upon the occurrence of euphausids according to Olsen, as it is
generally seen near the shore feeding on fish, such as herring and mackerel, but
in one instance sharks over 2 feet in length were found in a stomach, and in
another case no less than 15 penguins (Spheniseus demersus) and " malagass " (Sula
capensis).
Two Bryde's Whales filmed by deepdown productions
Bryde’s Whales are the least-known and in many ways the most
unusual of the rorquals. They are small by rorqual standards—no more than about
25 tonnes—prefer tropical and temperate waters to the polar seas that other
whales in their family frequent; are largely coastal rather than pelagic, and
although they retain the characteristic plates of whalebone that the baleen
whales use to sieve small creatures from the waters with, their diet is composed
almost entirely of fish.
"Bryde" is pronounced /ˈbruːdə/ ("brooda"), and "Bryde's whale" is sometimes
misheard as "brutus whale". The Bryde’s whale is named for the Norwegian consul
to South Africa, Johan Bryde, who helped set up the first whaling station in
Durban, South Africa in 1908.
Bryde’s whales feed on pelagic schooling fish, such as anchovy, herring and
sardine.
They are distributed widely throughout tropical and subtropical waters, with a
separate, smaller, pygmy species found in tropical Western Pacific and
South-East Asia. -- From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
