Inhabits oceanic regions. It preys on copepods and krill, particularly on the surface or subsurface skim feeding. Southern right whale populations, like their northern counterparts, have been heavily depleted by commercial whaling. Although not as endangered as the northern’ species, southern right whale populations are still relatively small. Although fully protected by the IWC, there is probably still some hunting for right whales. Despite the threats from whaling, entanglement in fishing gear, vessel collisions, and habitat destruction, some southern right whale populations have shown recent signs of recovery (Ref. 1394). Surface and subsurface skim feeding. Feeds on copepods and krill, apparently sometimes feeding near the bottom (Ref. 1394).
