Ecology and conservation of common bottlenose dolphins Tursiops truncatus in the Mediterranean Sea (2009, background): “Few attempts have been made to assess the impact of fishery-related mortality on local populations of bottlenose dolphins (Díaz López, 2006b; Díaz López & Bernal Shirai, 2007; Brotons et al., 2008); the actual magnitude of by-catch and retaliation events is unknown in most cases.”
Whistle characteristics in free-ranging bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in the Mediterranean Sea: Influence of behaviour (2011, methodology): “The definition and duration of each behavioural category was attempted a posteriori following data analysis strictly based on objective, non-discrete parameters, including specifically observed behavioural events, area, dive duration, swimming direction and speed, contact among individual dolphins, ”
To ping or not to ping: the use of active acoustic devices in mitigating interactions between small cetaceans and gillnet fisheries (2013, background): “It is striking that reported depredation of gillnets by cetaceans almost always involves bottlenose dolphins; many of these reports arise from the Mediterranean (Lauriano et al. 2004, 2009, López 2006, Brotons et al. 2008a, Rocklin et al. 2009).”
