Krill in the California Current and blue whale habitat use in the Channel Islands

evidence

Euphausia pacifica and Thysanoessa spinifera dominate the California Current preyscape; blue whales there feed on T. spinifera in shallow water under about 100 m and on E. pacifica at the shelf edge and offshore, preferentially targeting the larger, more lipid-rich T. spinifera. Blue whales arrive in late spring and early summer and feed until late autumn or early winter, concentrating in cold, well-mixed water upwelled north of Point Conception and advected south, near San Miguel and Santa Rosa Islands. V55 verification basis: retrieved in search summary attributed to this literature; the papers were not fetched.

A evidence is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
