The response of whales to marking 

 Whales are disturbed by the sound of the ship, by the report of whale-marking guns and by the 

 impact of the marks. At the sound of the ship they usually moved off gently, but at the report of 

 a marking gun, or when hit with a mark they sometimes bolted to a safe distance and then slowed 

 down.
