Challenges of implementing Mark-recapture studies on poorly marked gregarious delphinids.

Challenges of implementing Mark-recapture studies on poorly marked gregarious delphinids.

Population parameters of poorly marked gregarious species are difficult to estimate. This is the case for common dolphins (Delphinus sp.), a genus known for its lack of distinctive marks resulting in a low mark ratio. Furthermore, the widespread nature of common dolphins results in low recaptures. W...
