humpback whales
>In order to collect and to monitoring the oceanographic in a global perspective tagging of the major humpback populations in the world, the humpback whales are the ideal ocean mammal for this purpose, as the humpbacks are covering huge distances during their migration routes between feeding and mating grounds.
Please help me with the text I am reading.
1) Do you think there is (should be) a comma after perspective?
2) Do "the major humpback populations" and "the humpback whales" refer to the same thing?
Looks to me like it says the humpback whales account for the major populations of humpbacks".
But could not find any humpback ocean mammals other than the whales.

Thank you AlpheccaStars and Mister Micawber.
The text might have been written by a non-native speaker. I simply copied/pasted.
I am trying to translate it into my language.
So the English does not have to be (officially) corrected. I need to know what it means.
My guess is like this:

The text is difficult to understand.
The idea is that the humpback whales travel great distances in their migrations, and scientists would like to track their movements, so they put tags on them.
It is not clear if the tags are gathering additional data such as temperature, salinity, oxygen content, chemical composition and pollutants.
