Caption
World population graph of Blue Whales (Balaenoptera musculus).
Y-axis:
- Left axis shows world population estimate (the average is used when a range is given)
- Right axis shows the same values expressed as percentage of pre-whaling population
Data used
Based on data taken from animalinfo.org - Blue Whale and other sources.
(See below for expanded references)
Year | Global population | Reference | Used |
---|---|---|---|
Before whaling | About 275,000 | (Kemf & Phillips 1994) | yes |
1935 | 100,000 | (Animal World 1972) | no |
1930s | 30,000 - 40,000 | (IUCN 1966) | yes |
1962 | 930 - 2790 | (IUCN 1966) | yes |
1964 | 650 - 2000 | (Oryx 1964a) | yes |
1970 | 600 | (Animal World 1972) | no |
Late 1970s | 4000 - 4500 | (Burton & Pearson 1987) | yes |
1980 | About 6500 | (Nowak & Paradiso 1983) | yes |
1990 | 2500 - 3000 | (Klinowska 1991) | yes |
1994 | Probably under 5000 | (Kemf & Phillips 1994) | yes |
2002 | 5000 | (Pop 2002) | no |
Some data points were not used because I found them only after making the graph. Also (Animal World 1972) is a poor source, as it's an encyclopedia without citations.

Notes
- Commercial exploitation of whales began in the 19th century.
- Average of estimates used rather than error bars.
- IUCN estimates may be only of mature individuals (need to check that).
- Prewhaling population may be a huge under-estimate. A recent study (2003) gives population estimates for fin and humpback whales far greater than those previously calculated for prewhaling populations. Similar studies have not yet been done for Blue Whales. (Roman, J and S.R. Palumbi. 2003. Whales Before Whaling in the North Atlantic. Science. 301: 508-510. PDF)
Tools
Made in OpenOffice Calc (v2.1), exported to SVG by first copying into Draw, and then practically recreated in Inkscape (v0.45). I don't recommend this way of making a graph.
