An estimate of abundance for humpback whales from the Australian Southern Ocean Pelagic Monitoring Program for Antarctic Area IV Paper SC/50/CAWS16 submitted to the Scientific Committee, International Whaling Commission IWC 50, June 1998, 1998 (Ref: 9313)
Category 3: Conference paper

Data from the 1995/96 pelagic monitoring survey by Aurora Australis are used to provide a sightings estimate of abundance of humpback whales south of 60*S in Area IV of 900 with a CV of 0.46. This estimate is notably lower than that of 3300 for an equivalent area from the 1988/89 IWC/IDCR survey.
