The interchange of individual humpback whales between the wintering grounds Oceania (South Pacific) and east coast Australia weredocumented by identification photographs collected from 1999 to 2004. Interchange was assessed using regional catalogues flukephotographs, totalling 672 individuals (represented New Zealand, Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Niue, Cook Island,French Polynesia American Samoa) 1,242 Hervey Bay Byron representing southbound northboundmigration along (EA)....
Discovery mark tagging provided the first evidence of linkages between eastern Australian and Oceania Humpback whale breeding grounds Antarctic Area V feeding areas. Early investigation movements humpback whales in Western Pacific led to view that Balleny Islands Ross Sea were summer destinations for from Australia grounds. Recent photo-identification (ID) studies further low levels migratory interchange complex within Oceania. We report here movement three (Megaptera novaeangliae) Eastern...
Recent photo-identification and genetic studies have identified at least five discrete breeding populations in Australia Oceania: western (D), eastern (E (i)), New Caledonia (ii)), Tonga (iii)), French Polynesia the Cook Islands (F). Also evident are low levels of intermingling among consistent with degree differentiation. Photo-identification has confirmed linkages between Area V feeding areas grounds one genotype match been reported Oceania grounds. abundance estimates show strong...
In any fermentative process, the impact of native microbial community is hugely important. The present study examines far-reaching implications harvesting and isolating specific fungi bacteria to use as inoculum for new forms traditional techniques.

Abstract Humpback whales ( Megaptera novaeangliae ) migrate long distances each year on a return journey from low‐latitude breeding grounds to high‐latitude feeding grounds. Migration is influenced by subtle and complex social behaviors the assumption that transit directly through migratory corridor off east coast of Australia requires further investigation. From 2003 2005, we followed movements 99 individual within one cycle three locations, Byron Bay during whales' northern migration in...
The humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) that migrate along the east coast of Australia were hunted to near extinction during lastcentury. This remnant population is part Breeding Stock E. Previous abundance estimates for Australian portion Ehave been based mainly on land-based counts. Here we present a capture-recapture estimate this using photo-identificationdata. These data collected at three locations migration route (Byron Bay – northern migration, Hervey and Ballina...

A dedicated scientific investigation into distribution island associated Palau conducted 2012 2013. Aims The aim this project to investigate inform management build local capacity cetacean science. Methods Following a feasibility study 2010, vessel-based visual acoustic line transect survey 2012, covering area 4319 km2. repeated expanded 2013 using aerial methods....
