	Right whale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In dealing with the three populations of Eubalaena right whales, authorities have historically disagreed over whether to categorize the three populations in one, two or three species.
		Halibalaena (Gray, 1873) and Hunterius (Gray, 1866) are junior synonyms for the genus Eubalaena.
		Today, the three Eubalaena species inhabit three distinct areas of the globe: the Atlantic Northern in the western Atlantic Ocean, the Pacific Northern in a band from Japan to Alaska and the Southern in all areas of the Southern Ocean.

		Its generic name, Eubalaena, is derived from the Greek eu, meaning "well or true" and balaena, meaning "whale".
		The North Atlantic right whale is named Eubalaena glacialis, and lives in the temperate and sub-arctic waters of the North Atlantic Ocean.
		The North Pacific right whale is named Eubalaena japonica, the word japonica referring to the waters surrounding Japan, which are within its North Pacific range.

		Eubalaena is also the name accepted by both the International Whaling Commission (IWC) and NMFS.
		Historically, right whales were classified as two distinct species, Eubalaena glacialis in the northern hemisphere (Pacific and Atlantic Ocean basins) and Eubalaena australis in the southern hemisphere, based on a morphological difference in the orbital region of the skull (Muller, 1954; Rosenbaum et al., 2000).

	Eubalaena australis, Southern Right Whale at MarineBio.org
		Southern Right whales, Eubalaena australis (Desmoulins, 1822), are characterized by their uniformly dark color and white callosities found on and around the head.
		The largest of these excrescences (callosities) is located on the anterior-most portion of the head and is referred to as the "bonnet." Other excrescences are on the upper edge of the lower jaw, behind the blowhole, and above the eye.
		Eubalaena australis is on average between 16-18 m long at maturity, males being slightly shorter than females.

		These callosities are easily spotted when the whale comes to the surface to breath especially since they also often raise their chin or entire head during social contacts with other whales.
		Some speculate that Northern Right Whales can be distinguished from the Southern Right Whale (Eubalaena australis) by a larger amount of callosity material on the head and less on the edge of the lower lip.
		However variety in callosity material and colouration between individuals, groups and populations make such observations unreliable and redundant when their geographic seperation by the equator is considered.

	Eubalaena glacialis, Northern Right Whale at MarineBio.org
		The Northern Right whale, Eubalaena glacialis (Müller, 1776), aka Black Right whale or Biscayan Right whale, is similar is shape to the Bowhead, being large and stocky, but slightly smaller.
		A particular favorite is 'sailing', where the whale hangs vertically upside-down in the water, 'standing' on its head, with its tail flukes in the air.
		The Northern Right Whale was classified along with the closely-related Southern Right whale, Eubalaena australis under the genus Eubalaena, which literally means 'right whale', referring to the belief that these were the 'right' whales to kill.

		The intent of replacing the genus Balaena with Eubalaena was to correct the genus name in the FWS listing, a technical change.
		The intent of changing the listing from one northern right whale species to two species North Pacific right whale and North Atlantic right whale was to recognize the best available scientific information, which indicated that the population in the North Atlantic was genetically distinct from the population in the North Pacific.
		We did not make the same change to 50 CFR 224.101(b) because we believed that ``Right whales (Eubalaena spp)'' would already include any species that is subsequently recognized within the same genus.

	RIGHT WHALE
		The number of species of right whales is in dispute; most biologists believe there are two species, Eubalaena glacialis, the northern right whale, and Eubalaena australis, the southern species.
		Some believe that right whales from the north Pacific should be considered a third species, Eubalaena japonica.
		The right whales are probably an example of a species that is in the process of diverging into separate species after prolonged separation across the globe.

		However, recent genetic studies have caused scientists to conclude that the populations of right whales living in the North Atlantic, Southern Hemisphere and North Pacific are three distinct species.
		The North Atlantic whales are referred to as Eubalaena glacialis; the Southern Hemisphere right whales have been named E.

		It has recently been proposed that Right Whales (Eubalaena sp.) be divided into three taxonomic units consisting of the southern right whale (Eubalaena australis), which has a circumpolar distribution in the Southern Hemisphere, the North Atlantic right whale (Eubalaena glacialis), and the North Pacific right whale (Eubalaena japonica).
		These classifications are based on discrete patterns of genetic variation in the mitochondrial DNA, as there is little morphological evidence to distinguish the three groups using a classical systematics approach.
		In order to contribute additional data to an assessment of species relationships and designations within Eubalaena, we have tested numerous nuclear DNA gene regions for their utility and informativeness at the population/species boundary.
