  abstract = {{R}ecent photo-identification and genetic studies have identified at least five discrete breeding populations in {A}ustralia and {O}ceania: western {A}ustralia ({D}), eastern {A}ustralia ({E} (i)), {N}ew {C}aledonia ({E} (ii)), {T}onga ({E} (iii)), {F}rench {P}olynesia and the {C}ook {I}slands ({F}). {A}lso evident are low levels of intermingling among breeding populations consistent with the degree of genetic differentiation. {P}hoto-identification has confirmed linkages between {A}rea {V} feeding areas and eastern {A}ustralia breeding grounds and one genotype match has been reported between {A}rea {V} feeding areas and {O}ceania breeding grounds. {R}ecent abundance estimates show strong increases in the eastern {A}ustralian population, and some recovery in the {N}ew {C}aledonia and {T}onga populations, but with little evidence of recovery at other known {O}ceania breeding grounds or {N}ew {Z}ealand. {S}tudies to date have provided no conclusive evidence of the migratory destination of humpback whales passing through {N}ew {Z}ealand waters en route between {A}ntarctic feeding areas and tropical breeding grounds. {P}hoto-identification comparisons were undertaken between humpback whale fluke catalogues from eastern {A}ustralia ({EA}, 1315), {O}ceania east ({OE}, 513), {O}ceania west ({OW}, 166) and {N}ew {Z}ealand ({NZ}, 13). {F}ive matches were found between {OE}/{OW}, four matches between {OW}/{EA} and three matches between {NZ}/{EA}. {T}he data are used to investigate and discuss the migratory destination and breeding ground migratory terchange of humpback whales travelling through {N}ew {Z}ealand waters. {T}he data confirm that humpback whales with site fidelity to eastern {A}ustralia migrate past {N}ew {Z}ealand including through the {C}ook {S}trait and {F}oveaux {S}trait.},
