Advancing the use of morphometric data for estimating and managing common bottlenose dolphin ( Tursiops truncatus ) massNARA Subscribed
Knowledge of a dolphin's body mass is central to establishing body condition, comparing across individuals, and designing successful management programs. In the present study, sex‐specific prediction equations for estimating body mass were generated from morphometrics ( i.e ., length and girth) and ages of bottlenose dolphins residing under professionally managed care. Measurements of wild dolphins in Sarasota Bay, Florida, we...
