There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Another paper I just found, not concerning orcas in specific but talks about them as well

https://pontoporia.org/pdfs/reproducao/Reproductive%20Parameters%20of%20Dolphins%20and%20Small%20Whales%20of%20%20the%20Family%20Deiphinidae%20Perrin%20and%20Reilly.pdf

In Appendix I you can see the maximum size of orcas in different areas
They cite maximum  in the Atlantic as 975cm for males and 853cm for females (the figures discussed here before that are most likely unreliable)
Regarding other areas, in the North Pacific they cite 829cm for males and 698cm for females, similar to the figures for transients in Kotik et. al (2021), 8.3m maximum for males and 7.1m for females.
South Pacific they cite 805cm and 670cm respectively
Indic Ocean they cite 884cm and 792cm respectively, figures discussed before in this thread for South Africa
Southern Ocean 910cm and 762cm, similar to Type A males (8.92m) and B1 females (7.35m) in Durban et. al 2021
