For decades, the bio-duck sound has been recorded in the Southern Ocean, but the animal producing it has remained a mystery. Heard mainly during austral winter in the Southern Ocean, this ubiquitous sound has been recorded in Antarctic waters and contemporaneously off the Australian west coast. Here, we present conclusive evidence that the bio-duck sound is produced by Antarctic minke whales ( Balaenoptera bonaerensis ). We analysed data from multi-sensor acoustic recording tags that included intense bio-duck sounds as well as singular downsweeps that have previously been attributed to this species. This finding allows the interpretation of a wealth of long-term acoustic recordings for this previously acoustically concealed species, which will improve our understanding of the distribution, abundance and behaviour of Antarctic minke whales. This is critical information for a species that inhabits a difficult to access sea-ice environment that is changing rapidly in some regions and has been the subject of contentious lethal sampling efforts and ongoing international legal action.

Acoustic methods can provide important data on the occurrence and distribution of migratory species. Information about Antarctic Minke whale (Balaenoptera bonaerensis) occurrence in the winter breeding grounds is scarce, mostly limited to old records from whaling stations before 1960’s international moratory, such as Costinha Station in Northeastern Brazil (6° S / 34° W). This work describes the occurrence of the Antarctic minke whale (AMW) through Bio-duck acoustic detections in the Santos Basin, South-Southeastern Brazil (22º and 28º S / 42º and 48º W), registered between November 12 and December 19, 2015. AMW calls were detected for 12 days. We detected and classified 9 different Bio-duck calls in Brazilian coast waters, evidencing a high diverse acoustic behaviour for the minke whale breeding ground. This is the first study to describe the acoustic diversity of AMW vocalizations in lower latitudes, constituting important information to the conservation and management of cetaceans and their habitat. Therefore, our study presents the foremost acoustic evidence of the Antarctic minke whale in Brazil, utilizing high technological passive acoustic methods, such as autonomous underwater vehicle (SeaGlider) sampling.
