Count Component Title Abstract
1 GoM Estuarine Bottlenose Dolphin Photo-identification studies These data sets include a compilation of small vessel based studies of bottlenose dolphins that reside within Mississippi Sound and nearshore coastal waters. The data consist primarily of photo-identification studies that use natural markings on animal dorsal fins to identify individuals over time. Surveys consist of line transects aboard small boats with concentrated effort to collect photographs of individuals. These photographs are reviewed to identify and catalog individual animals. In addition, several targeted studies have been conducted within this program to collect tissue biopsy samples for genetic and contaminant analyses. These data are used to examine demographic structure and population dynamics of the Mississippi Sound stock of bottlenose dolphins.

        1 Data are collected on paper data sheets in the field which are then key-entered into database systems. Collected photographs are are reviewed and individual dolphins are identified and compared to previous images of individuals within the catalog. These identifications are then reviewed and verified.
