A photo-identification-based assessment model of southern right whales Eubalaena australis surveyed in South African waters, with a focus on recent low counts of mothers with calves ...
Photo-identification data for southern right whale cow–calf pairs on the South African calving grounds provide one of the longest abundance time-series for any whale population worldwide. Following a very steady increase from a heavily depleted state, surveys since 2015 reflect many notably low coun...
