REMARKS

Sei whales are among to more elusive of the larger whales, they do not usually come close to land and they do not form in large groups.

They are found like most whales in both Northern and southern hemispheres. They usually live to 60 years of age and weigh 33 tones.

They favour temperate, deep offshore waters more so than other species of large whales. In the summer months they do not move towards the polar waters as other rorqual whales and do not usually enter icy water.

We receive an updated weather report directly from our crew living at Agincourt Reef at 7.30am each morning. Please call for further information, such as cloud cover, as often weather conditions will be different at the reef to the mainland.

Fish and Colour
One of the most important reasons is communication. With most fish lacking any form of vocalization, the only way to communicate is by sight. This is very important at breeding time and camouflage is another important aspect which makes them less vulnerable to predators and also helps them blend into the coral environment.
