Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) undertake seasonal migrations between low-latitude breeding grounds in winter and high-latitude feeding grounds in summer. In the Southern Hemisphere, seven primary breeding stocks have been identified based on tropical distribution between which there is lim...
