Candida albicans is the most commonly isolated species, and can cause infections (candidiasis or thrush) in humans and other animals. In winemaking, some species of Candida can potentially spoil wines.
Killer whales have no natural predators (they are the top predators of the oceans) and can live to about 50-80 years old. Killer whales have been hunted by humans but not with enthusiasm as it takes 21 killer whales to produce the same amount of oil as 1 sperm whale.
Among the whales lost was J2. At an estimated age of 105, she was the oldest southern resident killer whale. As part of photogrammetric studies of southern and northern resident killer whales, John Durban and Holly Fernbach of the National Marine Fisheries Service had noted that she looked thin in the early fall of 2016.
