Article Summary:

Tony Wu has released a summary of the results of his Tonga humpback whale calf study for 2010. This incorporates the 24 juvenile humpback whales that he was able to identify during the 2010 season. These results, when compared to those of the previous two years, are showing some interesting patterns emerging from the data. Only time will tell whether the trends continue, but it’s certainly rewarding to see results from the time and effort we’ve put in.

Tony would welcome input from anyone with sightings of the calves listed in his study, or of calves not listed from the 2010 season. He plans to return to Tonga this year, and may have a few slots available for interested parties.
