An international study involving researchers from Auckland University shows humpback breeding is getting more competitive, which suggests the population is growing. Marine biologist Emma Carroll had been working with researchers in New Caledonia to track the local humpback whales. But when their population was decimated in the 1960s and 70s, humpback whales lost the luxury to be picky. "We think that when the population is low, the fact that young males and older males have the similar chances of having offspring, that is actually quite good for the population," she said. "Then we see as the population gets bigger, there's this kind of preference towards older males.

Photo: MPI/suppliedAlcohol Healthwatch's executive director says he is "horrified" after tens of thousands of Steinlager beer bottles were mislabelled as alcohol free. More than 2500 boxes of 24 beers (at least 60,000 individual beers) are being urgently recalled by Lion NZ after being wrongly labelled alcohol free when they are not. The company then found out there was an error in its production run, meaning beer containing 4.2% of alcohol was incorrectly labelled. Arbuckle said anyone who thought they might have the incorrectly labelled product should return it. Steinlager Alcohol Free is only sold in green bottles, not clear bottles, so if a beer in a clear bottle is labelled alcohol free it is incorrectly labelled.

Midge, a 2.8-metre female, was initially tagged near Stewart Island and travelled north through the Tasman Sea to Tonga. She then lost her satellite tag near Stewart Island after completing the migration of more than 3000km. Midge's tracker showed the incredible migration journey of great white sharks. He said Midge’s data highlighted how certain habitats were ideal for great white sharks, including areas near Motunui Island, off Stewart Island, where the animals aggregate seasonally before their long migrations. The Great White Project is supported entirely through public sponsorship, allowing people to follow individual sharks in near-real time via the Great White App, with each tag costing $4300.
