Songs of Humpback Whales: The Australian Perspective
Detailed study of the 1982/83 song off the east coast demonstrated a stereotyped, repeating song and established rules that governed the song for that period. These rules are broadly similar to those established in the Northern Hemisphere with differences in detail. The sounds that make up the song...
