Dear colleagues, My co-authors and I are pleased to share our recent publication in Marine Mammal Science: Pereira, K. S., Carvalho, R. R., Rosa, C. L. P., Santos-Neto, E. B., Lailson-Brito,, J. Jr., Bisi, T. L., & Azevedo, A. F. (2022). Large groups of Atlantic spotted dolphin (Stenella frontalis) in a coastal bay from southeastern Brazil.

Boat-based surveys were conducted from 2017 to 2020 in a shallow water environment in southeastern Brazil. During focal-group observations, Atlantic spotted dolphin was more commonly found in depths from 20 m to 25 m with varying group size and composition. Photo-identification effort allowed us to catalogue 234 well distinct marked individuals. Population parameters estimate showed high survival varying over time (Φ = 0.94 - 1.00) corroborating site fidelity and time varying capture probability (p = 0.00 – 1.00). Open population model also indicated a abundance estimate (Nt = 397) that suggest that Ilha Grande Bay represents an important area for part of the Atlantic spotted dolphin population in the SWAO, improving knowledge for this species.
