Résumé

A juvenile male Gervais’ beaked whale (Mesoplodon europaeus) was found dead in Barnstable Harbor, Cape Cod Bay, Massachusetts, USA. It apparently died from a septicaemia, possibly induced by a puncture wound of unknown origin. The previous most northerly stranding for this species in the western North Atlantic ocean was from New York State, USA.
