STRIPED DOLPHIN (Stenella coeruleoalba): Western North Atlantic Stock
The striped dolphin, Stenella coeruleoalba, is distributed worldwide in temperate and tropical seas of the world. Striped dolphins are found in the western North Atlantic from Nova Scotia south to at least Jamaica and in the Gulf of Mexico. In general, striped dolphins appear to prefer continental s...
