Zerbini, Alexandre N. Zerbini, Ryan R. Reisinger

“…In addition, sub-lethal impacts on individuals, albeit with population-level consequences, via decreased body condition and reproductive rates, may arise from local depletion of prey and prey-field disturbance that increases whale energetic costs. Mitigating these risks requires that baleen whales, including those species not yet recovered, are fully integrated into management procedures. …”
