Rorqual Lunge-Feeding Energetics Near and Away from the Kinematic Threshold of Optimal Efficiency

Humpback and blue whales are large baleen-bearing cetaceans, which use a unique prey-acquisition strategy—lunge feeding—to engulf entire patches of large plankton or schools of forage fish and the water in which they are embedded.
