Humpback Whale Ecology

Ecology: Humpback whales occur in all oceans of the world and are separated into Southern and Northern hemisphere populations. The international whaling commission separated the southern hemisphere populations into 6 groups, 2 of which migrate along the east and west coast of Australia. The migratory route around Australia is close to the land usually at a depth of less than 200m and generally within 20km of the coastline.
