- Humpback calves require 38 times more energy after birth
Research revealed that calves require 6–8 times the daily growth energy of an adult whale, and they achieve 30% of their total lifetime growth in less than their first year of life In fact, more than 60% of a calf’s crucial energy needs for growth occur within the first 150 days of birth
- Maternal investment, body condition and calf growth in humpback whales . . .
Maternal investment in calf growth correlated with both female BL and BC, with larger females producing larger, faster-growing calves Finally, using 330 measurements from 156 females, we quantified differences in BC increase over four feeding seasons
- New publication: Maternal investment, body condition and calf growth in . . .
We are pleased to share a new publication in The Journal of Physiology, entitled: Maternal investment, body condition and calf growth in humpback whales This publication is accompanied by another study estimating the energetic cost of gestation in humpback whales

Maternal investment in calf growth correlated with both female BL and BC, with larger females producing larger, faster-growing calves Finally, using 330 measurements from 156 females, we quantified differences in BC increase over four feeding seasons
- New study: Humpback calves require 38 times more energy after birth
Research revealed that calves require 6–8 times the daily growth energy of an adult whale, and they achieve 30% of their total lifetime growth in less than their first year of life
- Using drones, researchers assess the health of humpback whale mother . . .
We now know that humpback whales are highly vulnerable during stages of early calf growth and lactation, which means it will be essential to carefully manage these waters
- New publication: Age-specific body length, mass, and energetic cost of . . .
This study reveals the extreme energetic demands of early growth in humpback whales Calves reach about 75 % of their adult length within the first year, but this rapid growth comes at a great cost: they allocate 6-8 times more energy to growth per day than mature adults
- Hawaii Humpback Whale Calf Growth Guide - Your #1 Kauai Resource
Humpback whale calves go through a growth spurt in their first year, adding around 1 5 feet to their length each month and packing on about 100 pounds daily while nursing
- Humpback whale mother-calf health assessed using drone tech
The team used drone cameras to measure calf growth and maternal body condition days after calf birth in Hawaiʻi, and then compared these measurements to the body conditions of humpback
- Maternal investment, body condition and calf growth in humpback whales . . .
Calf length growth rates were highest in HI, while BV growth remained constant throughout the year Maternal investment in calf growth was correlated with female length and BC, with larger females producing bigger, faster‐growing calves
