In 2014, satellite tags were deployed on 9 female southern right whales <jats:italic>Eubalaena australis<\/jats:italic> accompanied by a calf off Australia. Photo-identification resights (n = 48) of 4 photo-identified individuals were recorded 1 to 2894 d (1-8 yr) post-tagging. Short-term (&lt;22 d) effects observed included localised and regional swelling, depression at the tag site, blubber extrusion, skin loss and pigmentation colour change. Broad swelling observable from lateral but not aerial imagery (~1.2 m diameter or ~9% of body length) and depression at the tag site persisted up to 1446 d post-tagging for 1 individual, indicating a persistent foreign-body response or infection. Two tagged individuals returned 4 yr post-tagging in 2018 with a calf, and the medium-term effects were evaluated by comparing body condition of tagged whales with non-tagged whales. These females calved in a typical 4 yr interval, suggesting no apparent immediate impact of tagging on reproduction for these individuals, but longer-term monitoring is needed. There was no observable difference in the body condition between the 2 tagged and non-tagged females. Ongoing monitoring post-tagging is required to build on the sample size and statistical power. We demonstrate the value of long-term monitoring programmes and a collaborative approach for evaluating effects from satellite-tagging cetaceans to support species management.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3354\/dao03730","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,3]],"date-time":"2023-05-03T10:27:30Z","timestamp":1683109650000},"page":"125-140","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3354\/policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Evaluating short- to medium-term effects of implantable satellite tags on southern right whales Eubalaena australis"],"prefix":"10.3354","volume":"155","author":[{"given":"C","family":"Charlton","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Marine Science and Technology, Curtin University, Perth, WA 6102, Australia"},{"name":"Current Environmental, Perth, WA 6050, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"F","family":"Christiansen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ecoscience-Marine Mammal Research, Aarhus University, Roskilde 8000, Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"R","family":"Ward","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Marine Science and Technology, Curtin University, Perth, WA 6102, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"AI","family":"Mackay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"South Australian Research and Development Institute, West Beach, SA 5024, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"V","family":"Andrews-Goff","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Australian Antarctic Division, Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water, Kingston, TAS 7050, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"AN","family":"Zerbini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cooperative Institute for Climate, Ocean, and Ecosystem Studies (CICOES), University of Washington & Marine Mammal Laboratory, Alaska Fisheries Science Center, NOAA, Seattle, WA 98115, USA"},{"name":"Marine Ecology and Telemetry Research, Seabeck, WA 98380, USA"},{"name":"Cascadia Research Collective, Olympia, WA 98501, USA"},{"name":"Instituto Aqualie, Juiz de Fora, MG 36033-310, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S","family":"Childerhouse","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cawthron Institute, Nelson 7010, New Zealand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S","family":"Guggenheimer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Current Environmental, Perth, WA 6050, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"B","family":"O\u2019Shannessy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Current Environmental, Perth, WA 6050, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"suffix":"Jr","given":"RL","family":"Brownell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NOAA Fisheries, Southwest Fisheries Science Center, Monterey, CA 93940, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1913","reference":[{"key":"Ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.47536\/jcrm.v20i1.237"},{"key":"Ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-018-30748-4"},{"key":"Ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1139\/f04-238"},{"key":"Ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-018-36870-7"},{"key":"Ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.47536\/jcrm.v9i2.677"},{"key":"Ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/mms.12168"},{"key":"Ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00300-015-1685-0"},{"key":"Ref8","unstructured":"Burnell SR (2001) Aspects of the reproductive biology, movements and site fidelity of right whales off Australia.
