1931 L. H. Matthews S. Georgia i. 38 Two other species, the Sei Whale (Balænoptera borealis) up to fifty feet long, and the Minke Whale (Balænoptera acutorostrata) up to thirty feet long..occur in some numbers in South Georgian waters.

1939 Geogr. Jrnl. 93 190 Minke and killer whales were cruising quietly in all parts of the bay [sc. the Bay of Whales in the Antarctic].

1970 Islander (Victoria, Brit. Columbia) 19 July 13/1 We watched seven killer whales kill and eat a minke whale.

1979 Nature 11 Jan. 86/3 Although the minke penetrates far south, its low proportion of blubber and small size suggest it is a more continuous feeder than the larger and more migratory species.

1996 C. Bateman Of Wee Sweetie Mice & Men xxxi. 244 Once we hit the shallows, there'll be plenty to see. Minkes mostly... The lesser rorqual if you want to be specific.
