Since the beginning of this new year, Aurum, a solitary individual, has traveled 170 kilometers (106 miles) southwards off the coast of Santa Cruz province, where Aurum seems to have found another productive patch in the center of the southern Argentine continental shelf.

During the past month Aurum, a solitary individual, remained over the continental shelf crisscrossing a patch of the Argentine Sea off Cabo Blanco, Santa Cruz province, in a slow, sinuous path.

Two months after being tagged, Aurum continues in a relatively small area off Cabo Blanco, Santa Cruz province, 250 kilometers (155 miles) from the coast, in the center of the continental shelf.

Forty days after being tagged, this solitary individual began traveling towards the feeding zones, after having predominantly explored the northern sector of Golfo Nuevo. During his migratory travels, Aurum has stopped briefly twice; once at the latitude of the north of Golfo San Jorge, about 200 kilometers (124 miles) from the coast, and the second at the southern latitude of the same gulf, also far from the shore. During both stops his movements were short and erratic, suggesting he was feeding.

The day this solitary individual of unknown sex was tagged, it was with Platinum, another whale being tracked this season. Aurum has since mostly explored the northern sector of Golfo Nuevo, near Puerto Pirámides, with only one visit to the area of El Doradillo after a trip to the southern edge of the mouth of the gulf.
