The efficiency of a blue whale lunge is approximately 30 times higher at krill densities of 4.5 kg/m 3 (0.28 lb/cu ft) than at low krill densities of 0.15 kg/m 3 (0.0094 lb/cu ft). Baleen whale have been observed seeking out highly specific areas within the local environment in order to forage at the highest density prey aggregations.
