Title: Body Mass Indices of stranded Steno dolphins in the Southeast Region in 2004 and 2005

Abstract:

This study compared morphology and body mass index (BMI) in two rough-toothed dolphin mass stranding events in Florida: August 2004 (n = 36) and March 2005 (n = 32).

Purpose:

To list the Body Mass Indices from two mass standings of dolphins in Florida, one in August, 2004 and the other in March, 2005 because the largest recorded S. bredanensis stranding before 2005 occurred in December of 1997 in the Florida Panhandle; it involved 62 individuals, of which only two were successfully released back into the wild (NOAA, unpublished data). Therefore, there is a clear need to be able to identify healthy individuals during triage in order to improve the outcomes associated with mass strandings of this species.

Data Quality

Bias:

Standard protocols were used to ensure that morphologic measurements were taken in a consistent manner. Length was taken by measuring the straight line distance from the tip of the snout to the notch of the flukes; while blubber thickness was measured along the maximum girth, anterior to the dorsal fin insertion, transecting at dorsal midline, midlateral, and ventral midline areas
