Migración; Ballena jorobadaAbstract
The migrational routes followed by the hunchbac-ked whales around the world are accounted, being one of the two species of whales whose displace-ments are well known. Their passing by the Costa-rrican Pacific coast is emphasized, revealing the ac-tivities realized here, the dangers they face and the national existing conditions for their protection.
