Titanium´s tracking route
January 14, 2025
In the deep waters of the ocean basin, more than 1,200 kilometers (746 miles) east of Golfo Nuevo, Titanium is moving in a clockwise circle in short, erratic bursts, possibly searching for areas of the ocean that have an abundance of food.

Titanium has been constantly traveling since the middle of November. On her migration route, she first followed the continental slope north to the zone where the Argentine continental shelf narrows, off the coast of Buenos Aires province. At that latitude she turned east south-east and crossed the continental slope to enter the deep ocean basin where she has remained since early December.

At present Titanium is over the continental slope and continues traveling slowly northwards, bordering the Argentine continental shelf. In this area there is an upwelling of the cold bottom waters which favor the primary productivity and multiplication of the prey on which these whales feed.

During their stay inside the gulf, Titanium and her calf traveled predominantly within the coastal areas of Golfo Nuevo. They began their migratory travels towards the continental slope on October 25th, after having been tracked for 45 days.

A month after being tagged, Titanium and her calf continue traveling in coastal areas of Golfo Nuevo, utilizing predominantly the northern, western and southwestern sectors of the breeding area.
