π₯ In late winter, herring and capelin start spawning, and during the spawning period, finwhales visit the coast of Norway to feed on them. Depending on the location, finwhales are called "Sildehval" or "Loddehval" due to their feeding habits
While Norway's coast is inhabitet by humpback whales normaly, in late winter, from February to April, finwhales also make a quick visit to the coast. During these months, herring and capelin have their spawning season, and this atracts the finwhales.
Thr finwhales has 2 names, depending on where they are located. They are called Herring whales by the people of the western coast of Norway, as the whales living at the western coast and out to the Norway Sea primaraly feed on herring as they are spawning. Meanwhile, finwhales in northern Norway and out towards the Barents Sea feed on capelins as they are spawning.
Once the spawning season stops and the fish disperse, the whales also continue their journey north towards the Arctic to stay the summer.
