Dear
MARMAMers,
During a marine survey in Indonesian waters, our survey team encountered
a group of dolphins that may represent the tropical form of long-beaked common
dolphins, i.e. Delphinus capensis tropicalis. However, so far we only
have found one picture from D. capensis tropicalis (from Hongkong) for
comparison material, which doesn't fit our observation though. Therefore, I
would very much appreciate if anyone who is in the possession of pictures of
D. capensis or D, capensis tropicalis is willing to share
pictures just for analysis/ identification purposes only. The pictures will not
be used for publication or otherwise. Please scan and send any pictures if
available to my e-mail: yk-rasi@samarinda.org
Thanking you most kindly for your help,
Danielle Kreb
