Bottlenose dolphin age structure and growth in the Mississippi Sound region of the Gulf of Mexico
Project
In Work
Teeth were collected from bottlenose dolphins that stranded within the north-central Gulf of Mexico between 1986-2003. These teeth were sectioned and growth rings were used to estimate the age of individual animals, and these estimates were used to develop sex-specific growth curves. These curves can be used to estimate the age of stranded animals based upon their observed length and provide insight into the demographics and population dynamics of bottlenose dolphins in the North-Central Gulf of Mexico.
To develop length-age relationships for Gulf of Mexico bottlenose dolphins.

The data will be available from a public web server once an access methodology has been developed.
None
Field records on the date, location, and size of stranded animals were reviewed and verified within electronic databases. Methods for age determination and subsequent analysis were peer-reviewed upon publication in a scientific journal.
