tableDigital
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.

dataset
Data on individual animals and samples are collected by local stranding network members and entered into the national database. These records are reviewed and verified against submitted paper records. Data on estimated ages are collected using standardized methods.
