The combination of the allozyme patterns and physical maturity of the eight specimens separated them from all acknowledged <i>Balaenoptera</i> species.","EngDescr":"In September 1998 we collected a medium-sized baleen whale carcass on a coastal island in the Sea of Japan. This specimen and the previously collected eight specimens resembled <i>Balaenoptera physalus</i> (fin whale) in external appearance but were much smaller. Comparison of external morphology, osteology and mitochondrial DNA data grouped the nine specimens as a single species but separated them from all known baleen whale species. Therefore, here we describe a new species of <i>Balaenoptera</i>, which is characterized by its unique cranial morphology, its small number of baleen plates, and by its distant molecular relationships with all of its congeners. Our analyses also separated <i>Balaenoptera brydei</i> (Bryde's whale) and <i>Balaenoptera edeni</i> (Eden's whale) into two distinct species, raising the number of known living <i>Balaenoptera</i> species to eight.\r\n<p>\r\nThe eight specimens were caught as \"Bryde's whales\" for the biological investigation under a special permit. Fresh appearance of whole ventral side was provided from a whale on deck of the research vessel.\r\n<p>\r\nData are digitized from the Nature paper.\r\n<p>\r\nThe holotype belongs to the Japanese National Science Museum.","OrigAbstract":null,"OrigDescr":null,"Comments":null,"ReleaseDate":null,"ReleaseDate0":null,"OrigDescrLang":null,"EmbargoDate":null,"OrigDescrLangNL":null,"OrigLangCode":null,"OrigLangCodeExtended":null,"OrigLangID":null,"DescrCompFlag":0,"DescrTransFlag":0,"Citation":"Wada S. 2016.
