Range:
Observation of the false killer whale occur during early summer to late autumn in the East Sea, especially near the coast of
Gyeongsangbuk Province
(
Kim 2004;
Fig. 95
).
Remarks:
The false killer whale, long considered a monotypic species, is now recognized by several stocks (
Carretta
et al
. 2010
). The Central North Pacific and Eastern North Pacific stocks are significantly differentiated from each other based on mtDNA analysis (
Chivers
et al
. 2007
,
2010
).
