Description
Tursiops truncatus (Montagu, 1821). Mem. Wernerian Nat. Hist. Soc., 3:75, pl. 3.
TYPE LOCALITY: UK, England, Devonshire, "in Duncannon Pool, near Stoke Gabriel, about five miles up the River Dart".
DISTRIBUTION: Worldwide: temperate to tropical waters, including the Black Sea.
STATUS: CITES - Appendix II.
SYNONYMS: aduncus, gephyreus, gillii, nesarnack, nuuanu.
COMMENTS: See Leatherwood and Reeves (1990). Ross and Cockroft (1990:124) considered aduncus to be synonymous with truncatus. Hall (1981:885-887) considered nesarnack and gillii distinct species, and synonymized truncatus with nesarnack. Opinion 1413 of the International Commision on Zoological Nomenclature (1986) conserved truncatus Montagu, 1821 and suppressed nesarnack Lacépède, 1804.
