Abstract
In a sample of 132 cetaceans taken during 1966–72 in a live-capture fishery for display at Marineland of the Pacific, mortality was low in Tursiops sp. (initially 10%, to over 50% within 24 mo, and high in Delphinus delphis (70% within 1 mo). Mortality within 1 mo and within 24 mo was under 20% and over 60%, respectively, for Lagenorhynchus obliquidens; and under 40% and over 60% for Globicephala macrorhynchus. Small numbers of Lissodelphis borealis and Phocoenoides dalli were also taken.Keywords
