Foetal growth in length of northern hemisphere sei whale, Balaenoptera borealis. Points represent monthly means. discussion of blue and fin whales, the variability in the monthly foetal lengths is such that foetal growth could be described by a series of linear phases of different slope, or by a more complicated general formula. The logarithmic plot has been accepted as the most simple fit for all the species considered. As foetal growth of baleen whales cannot be described by a linear plot of foetal length throughout gestation, the values of L^ cannot be derived by reference to the length of gestation. However, it is.
