Gulu la ofufuza a Pacific Whale Foundation omwe amaphunzira za anamgumi a humpback pafupi ndi Great Barrier Reef kugombe lakum'mawa kwa Australia komwe adawona namngumi woyera yemwe amadziwika kuti Migaloo Lachinayi, Ogasiti 13.

Nangumi wotchedwa white whale, yemwe amadziwika kuti ndi namgumi wotchuka kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi, adawonedwa maulendo awiri masiku ano ndi akatswiri ofufuza a Pacific Whale Foundation Greg Kaufman ndi Annie Macie.

"Tinkadziwa kwambiri kuti Migaloo akhoza kukhala m'derali chifukwa cha foni yomwe tidalandira masiku atatu m'mbuyomo ponena za kuoneka pa Mission Beach, pafupifupi makilomita 210 kumwera kwa Port Douglas," adatero Kaufman. “Popeza anamgumi amayenda pa avereji ya mfundo zitatu, tinaŵerengera kuti zingamutengere masiku 3-2 kuti afike kudera la Port Douglas.”

Ofufuza awiriwa adapeza koyamba Migaloo yomwe ili pamtunda wa kilomita imodzi kumpoto chakumadzulo kwa chilumba cha Snapper motsogozedwa ndi chombo chotchedwa "Aristocrat" cha "Aristocrat" koma kenako adasiya kuwona chinsombacho chitafika kawiri. Anamupezanso pafupi ndi mtunda wa makilomita 4.5 kumadzulo kwa chilumba cha Snapper pafupifupi maola anayi pambuyo pake akusambira kupita ku Tongue Reef, dera limene ochita kafukufuku akhala akujambula oimba a whale m'masiku awiri apitawa.

Kaufman anati: “Anali kusambira motsatira njira yosinthira panopa. "Anadumphira m'madzi kawiri momwe timamuwonera, zomwe zidatilola kupeza zithunzi ziwiri zodziwika bwino za ma fluke ake."

Kaufman adanena kuti mbali za pamwamba ndi pansi za mchira ndizofanana, popanda mtundu wa pigmentation pa iwo.

Kaufman anati: “Pali zinthu zinayi zimene zingatithandize kudziwa kuti chinsombachi ndi Migaloo. "Choyamba, pali mawonekedwe kapena mawonekedwe a michira ya Migaloo; ndizosiyana kwambiri ndi m'mphepete mwa mitsinje. "

“Chachiŵiri, pali chipsepse chapamphuno chokokerako pang’ono. Kenako pamakhala mutu wopindika pang'ono," akutero Kaufman. "Kuyambira pachiyambi, tawona kuti Migaloo ali ndi chotupa pambali pamutu pake. Mutu wake wosaoneka bwino ukhoza kukhala wokhudzana ndi vuto lake la alubino.”

Pomaliza, ndikuti Migaloo ndi yoyera. "Monga momwe tikudziwira, ndi nangumi yekhayo yemwe amadziwika padziko lapansi," akutero Kaufman.

Nangumiyo anali ndi ma diatoms ofiira ndi malalanje omwe amamera pa iye. "Anangumi ambiri m'derali ali ndi izi, koma adawonekeradi pakhungu la Migaloo loyera," adatero Kaufman.

Migaloo adawonedwa komaliza mderali pa Julayi 27, 2007, pafupi ndi Undine Reef, pafupifupi mailosi 10 kumwera kwa zomwe zikuchitika masiku ano. "Zowonadi, ndinali ndi maloto usiku watha kuti tiwona Migaloo lero ndipo tinali ndi chidziwitso champhamvu m'mawa kuti lero likhala tsiku lomwe tidzamuwonanso," adatero Kaufman.

"Kuwona Migaloo kunali kolimbikitsa. Mawu omwe ankangobwera m’maganizo mwanga anali aakulu,” anatero Annie Macie, wofufuza pa Pacific Whale Foundation. "Zinali ngati kuwona zodabwitsa za 8 padziko lapansi."

"Atangotsala pang'ono kutulukira, mumatha kuwona mawonekedwe a halo kuchokera ku thupi loyera panyanja ya buluu," adatero. "Kenako thupi lake likanawala pamene likukwera kuchokera kunyanja."

"Pazonse, chinali chodabwitsa kwambiri, tsiku labwino kwambiri pamoyo wanga," adatero.

Ofufuzawo asananyamuke, mabwato angapo a dive / snorkel m'derali adafika kuti awone bwino.

"Aliyense anali wabwino kutsatira lamulo la mita 500 lokhudza njira za "nangumi wapadera" adatero Kaufman. Adanenanso kuti Migaloo akupita komwe iye ndi Macie adamvapo zinsomba zikuimba
mu sabata.

Kaufman anaona Migaloo pafupifupi zaka 16 zapitazo, pamene ankaphunzira za anamgumi a humpback ku Australia.

Wachiwiri kwa purezidenti wa Pacific Whale Foundation komanso wofufuza Paul Forestell ndi amene adatcha Migaloo mu 1992, atakambirana ndi a Aboriginal Tribe ku Hervey Bay. Dzina lakuti "Migaloo" ndi liwu loti "white fella".

Pacific Whale Foundation inalemba nyimbo za Migaloo ku 1996, zomwe zimatsimikizira kuti ndi mwamuna. Kuyeza kwa DNA kuchokera ku Southern Cross University kunatsimikiziranso kuti ndi mwamuna.

Pacific Whale Foundation ili ndi tsamba loperekedwa ku all-white whale - yotchedwa migaloowhale.org - komanso imawonetsa Migaloo mu "banja" la anamgumi mu pulogalamu yake ya Adopt a Whale.

Nangumi wachilendoyu analinso mutu wa pepala la sayansi lolembedwa ndi ofufuza a Pacific Whale Foundation, Southern Cross Center for Whale Research, ndi Australian Whale Conservation Society mu 2001.

Pepalalo linali lotchedwa "Observations of Hypo-Pigmented Humpback Whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) Off East Coast Australia 1991-2000." Idasindikizidwa mu Memoirs of the Queensland Museum (Volume 47 Part 2), the
Msonkhano wa Humpback Whale 2000 womwe unachitikira kumalo osungirako zinthu zakale.

Kuti akonzekere pepala lawo, asayansiwo adafufuza malipoti opitilira 50 akuwona chinsomba choyera kugombe lakum'mawa kwa Australia kuyambira 1991.

Adanenanso kuti chinsomba choyera chinawonedwa koyamba ndikujambulidwa mu 1991 kuchokera pamalo owonera m'mphepete mwa nyanja ku Byron Bay ku New South Wales. Chaka chotsatira, nyama yomweyo inawonedwa ndi kujambulidwa kwambiri ku Hervey Bay ku Queensland. Nkhani zakumaloko zonena za nangumi zoyera pambuyo pake zidakulitsa chidziwitso cha anthu za nyamayo, ndipo anthu amaziwona chaka chilichonse kuyambira 1991 mpaka 2000 kupatula 1997.

M’chaka cha 1991, chaka chimene anamgumiwo anaonekera koyamba, anali wamkulu kwambiri moti sangakhale wachichepere ngakhale kuti sankaoneka kuti wakula, anatero Paul Hodda, pulezidenti wa bungwe la Australian Whale Conservation Society. Izi zikusonyeza
Nangumiyo anali kale pakati pa zaka 3 ndi 5 pamene anayamba kuona. Mu 2000, ochita kafukufuku amakhulupirira kuti chinsombacho chinali ndi zaka 11, mwina zaka 12 mpaka 15. Makhalidwe ake pakapita nthawi awonetsa kuti ndi wamwamuna komanso mwina wamwamuna yemwe wangofikira kukhwima pakubereka zaka zingapo zapitazi. Migaloo akuganiziridwa kuti ali ndi zaka 21 mpaka 34 tsopano ndipo amadziwika kuti ndi mwamuna, chifukwa cha makhalidwe ake.

Mwachitsanzo, chinsomba choyera chinawonedwa mu 1993 chikuperekeza mayi/mwana wa ng’ombe, chomwe ndi chizindikiro chodalirika kuti nyamayo ndi yamphongo. Mu 1998, paulendo wake ku Hervey Bay, adamveka kuyimba - chizindikiro chodalirika kwambiri kuti ndi mwamuna. Panthaŵi zimenezo pamene owonerera anaona kukula kwa namgumiyo, anamgumi 40 pa 17 alionse anali m’kati mwa anamgumi aŵiri, ndipo nthaŵi XNUMX peresenti ya anamgumiwo anali ndi magulu akuluakulu a anamgumi. Amuna akuluakulu a humpbacks nthawi zambiri amawonedwa ndi nyemba zoterezi m'nyengo yozizira.
