Dr Andrew Brownlow said the method of disposing of a whale was decided on a 'case by case basis'
Dr Brownlow said that it is important to return as much of the whale as possible back into the marine environment for "nutrient recycling".
"You don't need very high levels of them but they are very important for cellular processes", Dr Brownlow added. "We can bury them on site and that's often very successful, although that has to be balanced against the backdrop of not creating a public nuisance of having a carcass on an amenity beach," he said.
"Some very big whales like fin whales and sei whales, if they strand on some remote island, then they can be left to break down naturally," Dr Brownlow said.
