Aspects of the demographics, growth, diet,body condition and pollutant loads are investigated,providing valuable insights into the lives of thesecreatures and the evolution of life history traits inthis species. This body of work provides essentialinformation for the regional management of thisspecies and more generally provides a unique insightinto the lives of these amazing marine creatures.
