Based on growth layers in the ear plugs, it is estimated fin whales can live to 80-95 years of age. One fin whale that stranded in Denmark in 2010 was estimated to be 135-140 years old, based on the acid in its eye.
They can live as long as humans can. They can live to 90 years on average. However, sometimes, this is effected when some die early as a result of noises and ship collisions along with whaling.

There are estimated to be 3,000 fin whales off California, Oregon and Washington.
Fin Whales are hunted in Greenland with a limit of 19 per year.Collisions with ships are an additional major cause of Fin Whale mortality.
