If there is not a way I will abandon the submarine and I will looking for more realistic games.

This is more a limitation than a bug. I don't think there is a way to make "environmental" contacts, or any other contact for that matter, to be reported in game other than as merchant/warship/submarine/aircraft/coastal defence (this is including also watch crew reports). So, the choice is about making marine life to be wrongly reported as ships, or not be reported at all. I think most modders (me included, as far as the whales are concerned) opted for the first option, because if the player had to rely exclusively on his own eyes and ears, he would hardly spot those animals.
Making the crew not to report them should be an easy tweak though
