| Summary: | The humpback whale is a cosmopolitan species with annual migrations between tropic breeding grounds and polar feeding grounds. Humpback whales tend to be faithful to their sites of reproduction and feeding in different parts of the world. To establish efficient conservation plans, it is essential to gather information related to site fidelity. In doing this, it can be determined what importance certain ecosystems hold in relation to the biological and ecological processes of these individuals. La ballena jorobada (Megaptera novaeangliae) es una especie cosmopolita que realiza migraciones anuales entre sus zonas de reproducción localizadas en los trópicos y sus zonas de alimentación que se encuentran en aguas polares. Las ballenas jorobadas tienden a mostrar una fidelidad de sitio a sus zonas de reproducción y alimentación en diferentes partes del mundo. |
