To list the Body Mass Indices from two mass standings of dolphins in Florida, one in August, 2004 and the other in March, 2005 because the largest recorded S. bredanensis stranding before 2005 occurred in December of 1997 in the Florida Panhandle; it involved 62 individuals, of which only two were successfully released back into the wild (NOAA, unpublished data). Therefore, there is a clear need to be able to identify healthy individuals during triage in order to improve the outcomes associated with mass strandings of this species. completed Ewing, Ruth 305-361-4233 305-361-4221 75 Virginia Beach Drive Miami FL 33149 USA ruth.ewing@noaa.gov custodian Steno bredanensis theme World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) Coastal Waters Of Florida place NODC SEA AREA NAMES Steno bredanensis body mass index morphometric rough-toothed dolphins strandings theme 2004-2005 temporal Hutchinson Island Marathon Key place digital hanging scale instrument DOC/NOAA/NMFS/SEFSC > Southeast Fisheries Science Center, National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2017-04-24 publication 8.5 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.
