Serious question: is "blue whales" a common informal unit for biomass?
- bryanrasmussen 8y agoI think 'large animal that people are familiar with' is for science popularizing articles. Let's say it was less than a 10,000 blue whales, they might have wanted to calculate it in African Elephants.
- pax 8y agois cell count / microorganism density relatively constant through species? How different would 'a blue whale worth of lab mice' be if counting volume/mass/cells/microorganisms?
