Mystic Aquarium is asking that it be allowed to resume research on four beluga whales that was halted following the death of the fifth whale in that group. The request is part of a three-page report made public by the National Marine Fisheries Service detailing the Aug. 6 death of a male whale known as Havok, who along with the other four was imported from a marine Park in Canada in May. The report was posted at the same time the aquarium issued a public statement that a female whale named Jetta, reported to be gravely ill last week, is improving and being watched closely.
