Zee Aquarium Bergen aan Zee
The Blue Whale is the largest animal that lives on this planet and is on average about 25 meters long and weighs about a 100 tons. He appears in oceans around the globe. It is a 'pelagic species' that lives on the open sea. It is known that most species of the Blue Whale travel thousands of miles from the food areas around the poles to the nutritious areas around the equator. De blauwe vinvis is - net als alle walvissen - een roofdier. Ondanks het reusachtige lichaam leeft de vinvis vrijwel uitsluitend van kleine kreeftachtigen die nog geen tien centimeter lang worden. De volwassen exemplaren zijn zo groot, dat ze geen natuurlijke vijanden hebben. De mens heeft echter op grote schaal sinds het einde van de 19e eeuw op de vinvis gejaagd om het vlees en het vet. In 1966 werd de jacht op de blauwe vinvis verboden. Er was toen nog maar minder dan 1 procent van de oorspronkelijke populatie over. Tegenwoordig zijn er volgens schattingen zo'n 25.000 exemplaren wereldwijd.
