Well, I had as tough a time as you. The only info that I could find was that the bladder of a fin whale holds 5.5 gallons (Dr. Dave Casper; http://www2.ucsc.edu/seymourcenter/PDF/2.%20Ms.%20B%20measurements.pdf).

Subject: Whale question
I hope you can help me! I have been trying to find out the size and/or
capacity of a whale bladder - more specifically, the bladder of a blue
whale. I have been unable to find that information. Can you point me
in the right direction?
Thanks for your help,
Wendy Swann
