minke 小须鲸词源不详,通常认为是来自人名Meincke,20世纪初的一个挪威捕鲸渔夫,把这种鲸错认成蓝鲸,被同行讥笑而起了这么一个绰号用来代指这种小须鲸。
The name minke is said to have derived from one of Svend Foyn's crew by the name of Meincke, who mistook a school of these whales for blue whales. Whalers all over the world considered this incident so amusing that they used his name as a household word to describe this species. [J.N. Tønnessen & A.O. Johnsen, "The History of Modern Whaling" (transl. R.I. Christophersen), 1982]Also known in English as the lesser rorqual and little piked whale.
