Origin and expansion of the world’s most widespread pinniped: Range-wide population genomics of the harbour seal (Phoca vitulina)“.

The humpback whale is one of the most popular marine mammals and yet a lot of things remain unknown about them. Their annual long-distance migrations between breeding grounds located in the tropical areas of the North Atlantic (from Caribbean waters to the African coast) and the sub-arctic feeding grounds are mostly studied and documented using photographs identification.

This advice is based on the estimates of spawning stock biomass (SSB) from an autumn survey (1834 thous. tonnes) and two surveys conducted from 19 January to 14 February
