Satellite tracking of southbound East Australian humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae): challenging the feast or famine model for migrating whales 2008 meeting of the International Whaling Commission - Scientific Committee, Paper SC/61/SH17, 2009 (Ref: 14038)
Category 2: International meeting papers

We attached satellite tags to 16 humpback whales off South Eastern Australia in October/November 2008. The tags transmitted for an average of 55 days (range: 3-156 days) and provided data on migratory movements between Australia and the Antarctic feeding grounds.
