Specific objectives are to: 1) derive acoustic-based estimates of body length of sperm whales instrumented with digital acoustic recording tags (Dtags) to infer age class; 2) describe the diving and foraging behaviour of individual whales using acoustic and movement data from the Dtags; and 3) assess the effects of sex and age-class on various diving and foraging metrics.
