Abstract
The striped dolphin (Stenella coeruleoalba) is captured by drive fisheries as it migrates along the coast of Japan. The largest school of striped dolphins captured contained 2838 individuals. Annual catches have reached approximately 20,000 striped dolphins, and it is estimated that the population fished must number 400,000–600,000 animals. Recent variations in catch levels have resulted from economic and environmental fluctuations, not from a decrease in population size.
