摘要: ABSTRACT Received: Revised: Accepted: November 07, 2012 May 15, 2013 June 13, The prevalence of epidermal conditions in a small critically endangered population (<100 individuals) coastal Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins ( Sousa chinensis ) from the waters western Taiwan was assessed during photo-identification study conducted between 2006 and 2010. Of 97 individuals photographically examined, at least 37% were affected by one or multiple conditions. Besides, mature had significantly higher than immature ones did. Five different skin condition categories considered, including pox-like lesion, pale orange film, prolonged ulcer nodule on body. This first to investigate S. world offers data for comparison with other studies future new ground discussion health these animals potential impact anthropogenic activities. ©2013 PVJ.
