The largest recorded Orca

[Matias]

Much appreciated your reply.

Boat harassment and engine noise are probably two mutch important stressors to consider - Maritime traffic is intense and the reduction of human-made ocean noise, in times of the Covid-19 pandemic, has possibly brought lower stress levels . Pollution, also high throughout the food web, is likely to be associated with low birth rates and an unknown number of stillbirths, and young people who do not reach adulthood.

I wish you success, and may your studies develop good mitigation strategies, and bring us a greater existential understanding of this highly intelligent predator, so that we have this iconic population surviving for many years to come.

When possible, bring us news.
