Attempts have been made to gather baseline information on the bio-ecological and population aspects of cetaceans in the region. Opportunistic and systematic surveys have confirmed the presence of the Atlantic spotted (<i>Stenella frontalis</i>) and bottlenose (<i>Tursiops truncatus</i>) dolphins. Encounter rate with dolphin groups is about 70%. Preliminary results indicate that at least a proportion of the population is resident to the area, with recaptures ranging from a few days to at least 12 years.\r\n\r\nThis project is aimed to evaluate the population status of dolphins inhabiting the coast off the State of Aragua using photo-identification techniques, as part of the efforts to promote responsible dolphin watching in the region.\r\n\r\nSimilar surveys will be made during 2009 to cover different sampling seasons.","OrigAbstract":null,"OrigDescr":null,"Comments":null,"ReleaseDate":null,"ReleaseDate0":null,"OrigDescrLang":null,"EmbargoDate":null,"OrigDescrLangNL":null,"OrigLangCode":null,"OrigLangCodeExtended":null,"OrigLangID":null,"DescrCompFlag":0,"DescrTransFlag":0,"Citation":"Bolaños-Jiménez, J. and A.
