It is well known that microbes, zooplankton, and fish are important sources of recycled nitrogen in coastal waters, yet marine mammals have largely been ignored or dismissed in this cycle. Using field measurements and population data, we find that marine mammals can enhance primary productivity in their feeding areas by concentrating nitrogen near the surface through the release of flocculent fecal plumes. Whales and seals may be responsible for replenishing 2.3×104 metric tons of N per year in the Gulf of Maine's euphotic zone, more than the input of all rivers combined. This upward “whale pump” played a much larger role before commercial harvest, when marine mammal recycling of nitrogen was likely more than three times atmospheric N input. Even with reduced populations, marine mammals provide an important ecosystem service by sustaining productivity in regions where they occur in high densities.

Recently, we have show that baleen whales, which prey on animals (fish and crustaceans), harbor unique gut microbiomes with surprising parallels in functional capacity and higher level taxonomy to those of terrestrial herbivores. These similarities likely reflect a shared role for fermentative metabolisms despite a shift in primary carbon sources from plant-derived to animal-derived polysaccharides, such as chitin. In contrast, protein catabolism and essential amino acid synthesis pathways in baleen whale microbiomes more closely resemble those of terrestrial carnivores. Our results demonstrate that functional attributes of the microbiome can vary independently even given an animal-derived diet, illustrating how diet and evolutionary history combine to shape microbial diversity in the mammalian gut.

Macintosh Operating System: The Macintosh Operating System (Mac OS) is an operating system (OS) designed by Apple Inc. To be installed and operated on the Apple Macintosh series of computers. Introduced in 1984, it is a graphical user interface (GUI) based OS that has since been released as multiple different versions. Initially, Mac OS was.

The year is 3055. Humans have expanded their reach to beyond the stars, but their hunger for expansion came at a cost. A species of space whale was discovered and was hunted to near extinction for it’s exotic meat. Today, only one remains. A safe haven has been found in the N76-GD4 Nebula, but the journey is treacherous. The galaxy swarms with rogue AI units and aggressive space jellyfish. Defend your whale and use your plunder to give it life. And at all costs: Keep. It. Alive.

It sounds like people are running into a bug in the tutorial, so if no more prompts appear after killing the enemy on the first level: After you kill the first enemy you need to fly close to the whale and press F to deposit your resources, then press G to move on. Sometimes the tutorial prompts break and don’t tell you to do these last steps. (Should be fixed in 23 hour patch)

We've noticed a bug that can happen on Linux where some of the videos can't play, it you are on Linux and just see the galaxy background for 10-20 seconds at a time, that's where one of those clips is meant to play. Just wait it out and the game should continue.

18 hour bugfix patch

  • Hid mouse cursor
  • Fixed bug that prevented second enemy type from spawning (meant no organic material could be collected)
  • Moved shop menu prices to be next to the correct label (they were switched)
  • Made enemies able to damage player/whale
  • Made the music not stop after 16 minutes
  • Made the whale’s inventory size large enough to be able to actually buy upgrades
  • Fixed UI scaling in the tutorial level

Whalestrom Mac Os 11

23 hour bugfix patch

Whalestrom Mac Os X

  • Fixed a bug where tutorial progression could break


The original version is still available in case anyone judging LD would prefer to score based on the true original (broken ) submission build. But we ask that you play the version that actually works. The fixed version contains no content, balance, or significant code changes that were not completed in the original jam time.
