STOCK DEFINITION AND GEOGRAPHIC RANGE
The Clymene dolphin is endemic to tropical and sub-tropical waters of the Atlantic (Jefferson and Curry 2003). Clymene dolphins have been commonly sighted in the Gulf of Mexico since 1990 (Mullin et al. 1994; Fertl et al. 2003), and a Gulf of Mexico stock has been designated since 1995. Four Clymene...
