Based on osteological features, a specimen from [[Taiwan]] was referred to ''B. brydei'', while several specimens from the [[Philippines]] and [[Indonesia]] differed slightly in skull morphology and were referred to the putative Indo-Pacific Bryde's whale.<ref name=IUCN>{{cite iucn

Bryde's whales do not occur within central to northern [[Sea of Japan]] on regular basis or at least in large numbers. One of the northernmost records in modern times was of a beached, 5-meter-long specimen at [[Nakhodka]] in 2011.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.pk25.ru/news/nakhodka/01_06_11_pod_nahodkoyi_vibrosilsya_na_bereg_pyatim.html|title=Под Находкой выбросился на берег пятиметровый кит|website=www.pk25.ru}}</ref>
 
''B. brydei'' occurs throughout the Indian Ocean north of about [[35th parallel south|35°S]]. Those of the southern Indian Ocean appear to correspond to ''B. brydei'', as do the individuals illegally caught by the Soviets in the 1960s in the northwest Indian Ocean, as well as the [[Maldives]]. Individuals sighted in the [[Red Sea]] may or may not be ''B. brydei''.<ref name=IUCN /><ref name=Masseti>{{cite journal |last1=Masseti |first1=Marco |title=The mammals of the Farasan archipelago, Saudi Arabia |journal=Turkish Journal of Zoology |date=6 August 2010 |volume=34 |issue=3 |pages=359–365 |url=https://journals.tubitak.gov.tr/zoology/abstract.htm?id=10978|doi=10.3906/zoo-0905-2|doi-access=free }}</ref>
