Significance of the new whale song of western Indian Ocean

significance of the new whale song Daily Current Affairs Article 27th December 2020: In a paper published in the journal Endangered Species Research, authors described a new whale song, suggesting the existence of a population that was previously unknown. Researchers analysed recordings from three locations in the western Indian Ocean from where they discovered the unique whale song.

Since it is the only blue whale song identified by them in the western Arabian Sea, researchers have called it the “Northwest Indian Ocean”.
