Delphinus delphis Linnaeus 1758
Description
Delphinus delphis Linnaeus, 1758 —Short-beaked Common Dolphin, saddleback dolphin
Delphinus delphis Linnaeus, 1758 p.77; Type locality- eastern North Atlantic (European Seas); Kuroda, 1938 p.15; Won, 1968 p.221; Kim et al., 2000 p.94; Kim, 2004 p.243.
D. pomeegrea Owen, 1866 [1869] p.23; Type locality- India.
Range: A school of 100 short-beaked whales was observed once in 2007 in the East Sea (Cetacean Research Institute 2007), but compared to D. capensis, the short-beaked common dolphin is rare in Korean waters (Fig. 104).
Remarks: A discontinuity exists in the distribution of the central and northern stocks of the eastern Pacific short-beaked common dolphins (Perrin et al., 1985) as well as documented differences in average adult size, reproductive seasonality and genetics (Chivers et al. 2003). Records of D. delphis before the 1990s mostly refer to D. capensis in the North Pacific Ocean (Amano 2009a, b). The Subspecies, D. d. delphis Linnaeus, 1758 inhabits the waters of Korea.
