Description
Tursiops aduncus (Ehrenberg 1833)
[Delphinus] aduncus Ehrenberg 1833, Hemprich and Ehrenberg, Symbolae Physicae., Mammalia, decas II, folio k: ftn. 1.
Type Locality: Ethiopia, Dahlak Arch., Belhosse Isl.
Vernacular Names: Indo-Pacific Bottlenose Dolphin.
Synonyms: Tursiops nuuanu Andrews 1911.
Distribution: Indian Ocean; distribution in Pacific uncertain.
Conservation: CITES – Appendix II; IUCN – Data Deficient.
Discussion: Rice (1998:106) recognized this species based primarily on the work of LeDuc and Curry (1997). There is a growing consensus that this is one of the species of Tursiops that is valid. Its relationship to Tursiops nuuanu remains equivocal.
