| In November 2002, scientists recorded calls in the presence of sei whales off Maui. |
| If close examination is possible, the sei whale will be seen to have only a single head ridge. |
| In B. C., sei whales rarely come near the coast, but are sometimes found alone or in small groups well offshore. |
| The plan is to hunt a total of 100 minke whales, 100 fin whales and 50 sei whales over the next two years. |
| In a similar case, a sei whale was found dead and attached to a container ship that was docking near Philadelphia, NOAA said. |
| For the next 5 years the sei whale was the primary target until their catch numbers dropped below 10,000 a year. |
