Caption

World population graph of Blue Whales (Balaenoptera musculus).

Y-axis:

Left axis shows world population estimate (the average is used when a range is given)
Right axis shows the same values expressed as percentage of pre-whaling population

Data used

Based on data taken from animalinfo.org - Blue Whale and other sources.

(See below for expanded references)

Year	Global population	Reference	Used
Before whaling	About 275,000	(Kemf & Phillips 1994)	yes
1935	100,000	(Animal World 1972)	no
1930s	30,000 - 40,000	(IUCN 1966)	yes
1962	930 - 2790	(IUCN 1966)	yes
1964	650 - 2000	(Oryx 1964a)	yes
1970	600	(Animal World 1972)	no
Late 1970s	4000 - 4500	(Burton & Pearson 1987)	yes
1980	About 6500	(Nowak & Paradiso 1983)	yes
1990	2500 - 3000	(Klinowska 1991)	yes
1994	Probably under 5000	(Kemf & Phillips 1994)	yes
2002	5000	(Pop 2002)	no

Some data points were not used because I found them only after making the graph. Also (Animal World 1972) is a poor source, as it's an encyclopedia without citations.

Notes

Commercial exploitation of whales began in the 19th century.
Average of estimates used rather than error bars.
IUCN estimates may be only of mature individuals (need to check that).
Prewhaling population may be a huge under-estimate. A recent study (2003) gives population estimates for fin and humpback whales far greater than those previously calculated for prewhaling populations. Similar studies have not yet been done for Blue Whales. (Roman, J and S.R. Palumbi. 2003. Whales Before Whaling in the North Atlantic. Science. 301: 508-510.

Tools

Made in OpenOffice Calc (v2.1), exported to SVG by first copying into Draw, and then practically recreated in Inkscape (v0.45). I don't recommend this way of making a graph.
