In captivity up to 40 years.

In the wild, due to predation and fishing, about 25-30 years.

(Btw it's not true that most mammals live for 40-60 years, mice for example have an average lifespan of about 2).

Well, they are mammal and most mammals live a minimum of 50 years... So, I'd say to 40 to 60 years as an educated guess
