Sanctuary
Quiz
Correct!
While
most of the whales that frequent the Stellwagen Bank area eat
small fish, the right whale feasts on copepods -- small crustaceans,
each smaller than a grain of rice. The preferred species is
Calanus finmarchicus, the largest of the calanoid copepods.
Right whales strain this tiny food from the water with the use
of their long, finely-fringed baleen.
