GT-polygon

Abstract

Marine mammals depicted in the Golfo de Fonseca are limited to three species of dolphins, Stenella attenata (spotted dolphin - delf\xEDn machado), Stenella longirostris (spinner dolphin - bufeo), and Tursiops truncatus (bottlenose dolphin - delf\xEDn gris o nariz de botella) which are widespread in the gulf. T. truncatus is probably the most common of the three species. These can occur year-round throughout the Golfo de Fonseca but are, as a rule, more abundant in the open waters of the gulf and near the general entrances to the small bays. Both S. attenata and S. longirostris are on Nicaragua's threatened (anemazadas) list. Though there is a lack of information, it is recognized that whales may be present in the Golfo de Fonseca, but their distribution is often limited to the open water areas near the entrance of the gulf. | Description Source: Research Planning, Inc.
