Samples from South Africa were collected with permission of the Department of Environmental Affairs (Permit: RES2016/94), and samples were collected from Western Australia under DBCA Licenses FO25000030 & CE005886 (AJ Armstrong). Animal ethics approvals were granted by the University of Western Australia (RA/3/100/1490), the University of Queensland Animal Ethics Committee (SBMS/071/08/SEAWORLD, SBMS/206/11/ARC and SBS/319/14/ARC/EA/LEIER) and in accordance with the requirements of the Marine Megafauna Foundation Animal Ethics policies.
